DIARY 


OF 


SAMUEL PEPYS 


i} 


1668. 


UGUST Ist. My wife, and Deb., and I to the King’s 
house again, coming too late yesterday to hear the pro- 
logue, and do like the play better now than before; 

and, indeed, there is a great deal of true wit in it, more than 
in the common sort of plays. 

2d. (Lord’s day.) Up and at home all the morning, hang- 
ing and removing of some pictures, in my study and house. 
After dinner, I and Tom, my boy, by water up to Putney, 
and there heard a sermon, and many fine people in the 
church. Thence walked to Barne Elmes, and there, and 
going and coming, did make the boy read to me several 
things, being now-a-days unable to read myself anything, 
for above two lines together, but my eyes grow weary. 

3d. Meeting Dr. Gibbons, carried him to the Sun taverne, 
in King Street, and there made him, and some friends of 
his, drink; among others, Captain Silas Taylor. 

4th. At my Lord Arlington’s, where, by Creed’s being out 
of town, I have the trouble given me of drawing up answers 
to the complaints of the Turks of Algiers, and so I have 
all the papers put into my hand. 

5th. To the Duke of York’s playhouse, and there saw 
“The Guardian ;” formerly the same, I find, that was called 
“ Cutter of Coleman Street ;” a silly play. And thence to 
Westminster Hall, where I met Fitzgerald;* and with him

2 DIARY OF [7th August, 


to a taverne, to consider of the instructions for Sir Thomas 
Allen, against his going to Algiers; he and I being designed 
to go down to Portsmouth by the Council’s order, to-mor- 
row morning. So I away home, and there bespeak a coach; 
and so home and to bed. 

6th. Waked betimes, and my wit, @ at an hour’s warning, 
is resolved to go with me, which pleases me, her readiness. 
But, before ready, comes a letter from Fitzgerald, that he is 
seized upon last night by an order of the General’s by a file 
of musqueteers, and kept prisoner in his chamber. The 
Duke of York did tell me of it to-day: it is about a quarrel 
between him and Witham, and they fear a challenge: so I 
to him, and sent my wife by the coach round to Lambeth. 
I lost my labour going to his lodgings, and he in bed: and, 
staying a great while for him, I at last grew impatient, and 
would stay no longer; but to St. James’s to Mr. Wren, to 
bid him “God be with you;” and so over the water to 
Fox Hall; and there my wife and Deb. took me up, and we 
away to Gilford, losing our way for three or four miles, 
about Cobham. At Gilford we dined; and I showed them 
the hospitall there of Bishop Abbot’s,* and his tomb in the 
church, which, and the rest of the tombs there, are kept 
mighty clean and neat, with curtains before them. So to 
coach again, and got to Liphook, late over the Hindhead, 
having an old man, a guide, in the coach with us; but got 
thither with great fear of being out of our way, it being ten 
at night. Here good, honest people; and after supper, to 
bed. 

7th. To coach, and with a guide to Petersfield, where I 
find Sir Thomas Allen and Mr. Tippets* come; the first 
about the business, the latter only in respect to me; as also 
Fitzgerald, who came post all last night, and newly arrived 
here. We four sat down presently to our business, and in 
an hour despatched all our talk; and did inform Sir Thomas 
Allen well in it, who I perceive, in serious matters is a 
serious man: and tells me he wishes all we are told be true, 
in our defence; for he finds by all, that the Turks have, to 
this day, been very civil to our morehant aa everywhere ;

and, if they would have broke with us, they never had such 
an opportunity over our rich merchantmen, as lately, coming 
out of the Streights. Then to dinner, and pretty merry: 
and here was Mr. Martin, the purser, who dined with us 
and wrote some things for us. And so took coach 
again back; Fitzgerald with us, whom I was pleased with 
all the day, with his discourse of his observations abroad, 
as being a great soldier and of long standing abroad; 
and knows all things and persons abroad very well— 
I mean, the great soldiers of France, and Spain, and 
Germany; and talks very well. Came at night to Gilford, 
where the Red Lyon so full of people, and a wedding, that 
the master of the house did get us a lodging over the way, 
at a private house, his landlord’s, mighty neat and fine; and 
there supped: and so to bed. 

8th. Met uncle Wight, whom I sent to last night, and 
Mr. Wight coming to see us, and I walked with them back 
to see my aunt at Katherine Hill, and there walked up 
up and down the hill and places about: but a dull place, but 
good ayre, and the house dull. But here I saw my aunt, 
after many days not seeing her—I think, a year or two; 
and she walked with me to see my wife. And here, at the 
Red Lyon, we all dined together, and pretty merry, and 
then parted: and we home to Fox Hall, where Fitz- 
gerald and I ’light, and by water to White Hall, where the 
Duke of York being abroad, I by coach and met my wife. 
I hear that Colbert, the French Ambassador, is come, and 
hath been at Court incognito. When he hath his audience, 
I know not. 

9th. (Lord’s day.) Waited on the Duke of York: and 
both by him and several of the Privy Council, beyond ex- 
pectation, I find that my going to Sir Thomas Allen was 
looked upon as a thing necessary: and I have got some ad- 
vantage by it, among them. To visit Lord Brouncker, and 
back to White Hall, where I saw the Queen and ladies; and 
so, with Mr. Slingsby, to Mrs. Williams’s, thinking to dine 
with Lord Brouncker there, but did not, having promised 
my wife to come home, though here I met Knipp, to my 
great content. So home; and, after dinner, I took my wife

bert, the great Minister.

and Deb. round by Hackney, and up and down to take the 
ayre; and then home, and made visits to Mrs. Turner, and 
Mrs. Mercer, and Sir W. Pen, who is come from Epsom 
not well, and Sir J. Minnes, who is not well neither. And 
so home to supper, and to set my books a little right, and 
then to bed. 

10th. To my Lord Arlington’s house, the first time since 
he came thither, at Goring House, a very fine, noble place; 
and there he received me in sight of several Lords with 
great respect. I did give him an account of my journey; 
and, here, while I waited for him a little, my Lord Orrery 
took notice of me, and begun discourse of hangings, and of 
the improvement of shipping: I not thinking that he knew 
me, but did then discover it, with a mighty compliment of 
my abilities and ingenuity, which I am mighty proud of; 
and he do speak most excellently. To Cooper’s, where I 
spent all the afternoon with my wife and girl, seeig him 
make an end of her picture, which he did to my great con- 
tent, though not so great as, I confess, I expected, being 
not satisfied in the greatness of the resemblance, nor in the 
blue garment: but it is most certainly a most rare piece of 
work, as to the painting.* He hath 30/1. for his work—and 
the chrystal, and case, and gold case comes to 81. 3s. 4d.; 
and which I sent him this night, that I might be out of 
his debt. Home to supper, and my wife to read a ridi- 
culous book I bought to-day of the History of the Taylors’ 
Company.’ 

11th. The Parliament met long enough to adjourne to the 
10th of November next. At the Office all the afternoon till 
night, being mightily pleased with a trial I have made of 
the use of a tube-spectacall of paper, tried with my right

Wherein is set forth the noble acts, valliant deeds, and heroick per- 
formances of Merchant Taylors in former ages; their honourable loves 
and knightly adventures, their combating of foreign enemies and 
glorious successes in honour of the English nation; together with their 
pious acts and large benevolences, their building of publick structures, 
especially that of Blackwell Hall, to be a market-place for the selling 
of woollen cloaths: Written by William Winstanley. Lond. 1668.”

eye. This day I hear that, to the great joy of the Noncon- 
formists, the time is out of the Act against them, so that 
they may meet: and they have declared that they will have 
a morning lecture’ up again, which is pretty strange; and 

they are connived at by the King every where, I hear, in 
- the City and country. This afternoon my wife and Mercer, 
and Deb., went with Pelling to see the gypsies at Lam- 
beth,” and have their fortunes told; but what they did I did 
not enquire. 

12th. Captain Cocke tells me that he hears for certain 
the Duke of York will lose authority of an Admiral, and 
be governed by a Committee: and all our Office changed; 
only they are in dispute whether I shall continue or no, 
which puts new thoughts in me, but I know not whether 
to be glad or sorry. Home to dinner, where Pelling dines 
with us, and brings some patridges, which are very good 
meat; and, after dinner, I, and wife, and Mercer, and Deb., 
to the Duke of York’s house, and saw ‘“* Macbeth,” to our 
great content, and then home, where the women went to 
the making of my tubes.* Then comes Mrs. Turner and 
her husband to advise about their son, the Chaplain, who is 
turned out of his ship, a sorrow for them, which I am 
troubled for, and do give them the best advice I can. 

13th. W. Howe dined with me, who tells me for certain 
that Creed is like to speed in his match with Mrs. Betty 
Pickering. Here dined with me also Mr. Hollier, who is 
mighty vain in his pretence to talk Latin. 

14th. At home I find Symson, putting up my new 
chimney-piece,* in our great chamber, which is very fine, 
but will cost a great deal of money, but it is not flung 
away. I with Mr. Wren, by invitation, to Sir Stephen 
Fox’s to dinner, where the Cofferer® and Sir Edward 
Savage;° where many good stories of the antiquity and 

The morning lectures at Cripplegate were of great celebrity among 


the Puritans. Many of them were published, forming six volumes in 
Ato, closely printed. The form of lecture, it is believed, still exists. 


Most probably at Norwood, in the Parish of Lambeth, a place, 
much later, famous as the resort of gipsies.

estates of many families at this day in Cheshire, and that 
part of the kingdom, more than what is on this side near 
London. My Lady [Fox] dining with us; a very good 
lady, and a family governed so nobly and neatly as do me 
good to see it. Thence the Cofferer, Sir Stephen, and I to 
the Commissioners of the Treasury about business: and so I 
up to the Duke of York, who enquired for what I had pro- 
mised him, about my observations of the miscarriages of 
our Office; and I told him he should have it next week, 
being glad he called for it; for I find he is concerned to do 
something, and to secure himself thereby, I believe: for 
the world is labouring to eclipse him, I doubt; I mean, the 
factious part of the Parliament. The Office met this after- 
noon as usual, and waited on him; where, among other 
things, he talked a great while of his intentions of going to 
Dover soon, to be sworn as Lord Warden,* which is a matter 
of great ceremony and state. Spent the evening talking 
with my wife and piping, and pleased with our chimney- 
piece. 


15th. After dinner with my wife, Mercer, and Deb., to 


the King’s playhouse, and there saw ‘“* Love’s Mistresse ” 
revived, the thing pretty good, but full of variety of diver- 
tisement. 

16th. (Lord’s day.) All the morning at the Office with 
W. Hewer, there drawing up my Report to the Duke of 
York, as I have promised, about the faults of this Office. 

17th. To Hampstead, to speak with the Attorney-gene- 
ral,” whom we met in the fields, by his old route and house; 
and after a little talk about our business of Ackeworth, went 
and saw the Lord Wotton’s*® house* and garden, which is

and co-heirs of Thomas Lord Wotton; and her son, Charles Henry 
Kirkhoven, here mentioned, was created Lord Wotton, of Wotton, in 
Kent, in 1650, by reason of his descent, and Earl of Bellomont, in 
Ireland, in 1670. He died without issue in 1682. 

“Belsyze House, in the parish of Hampstead, was for many years

wonderfull fine: too good for the house, the gardens are, 
being, indeed, the most noble that ever I saw, and brave 
orange and lemon trees. Thence to Mr. Chichly’s’ by 
invitation, and there dined with Sir John, his father not 
coming home. And while at dinner comes by the French 
Ambassador Colbert’s mules, the first I ever saw, with their 
-sumpter-clothes mighty rich, and his coaches, he being to 
have his entry to-day: but his things, though rich, are not 
new; supposed to be the same his brother? had the other 
day, at the treaty at Aix-la-Chapelle, in Flanders. Thence 
to the Duke of York’s house, and there saw “ Cupid’s 
Revenge,’”*® under the new name of “Love Despised,” that 
hath something very good in it, though I like not the whole 
body of it. This day the first time acted here. 

18th. Alone to the Park: but there were few coaches; 
among the few, there were our two great beauties, my Lady 
Castlemaine and Richmond: the first time I saw the latter 
since she had the smallpox. I had much pleasure to see 
them, but I thought they were strange one to another. 

19th. This week my people wash, over the water, and so I 
little company at home. Being busy above, a great cry I 
hear, and go down; and what should it be but Jane, in a fit 
of direct raving, which lasted half-an-hour. It was beyond 
four or five of our strength, to keep her down; and, when 
all come to all, a fit of jealousy about Tom, with whom she is 
in love. So at night, I, and my wife, and W. Hewer called 
them to us, and there I did examine all the thing, and them, 
in league. She in love, and he hath got her to promise him 
to marry, and he is now cold in it, so that I must rid my 
hands of them, which troubles me. 


the residence of the Wood family, as lessees, under the Dean and Chap- 
ter of Westminster, in whom the property is still vested. When Pepys 
visited the place, it was the chief seat of Charles Henry Kirkhoven, 
Lord Wotton, above-mentioned. That mansion, long since pulled 
down, had become, in 1720, a house of public entertainment, and was 
much in vogue, and continued open as late as 1745. See Lysons’s En- 
virons, and Park’s History of Hampstead. ;

20th. To work till past twelve at night, that I might get 
my great letter to the Duke of York ready against to-mer- 
row, which I shall do, to my great content. 

Qist. Up betimes, and with my people again to work, and 
finished all before noon: and then I by water to White 
Hall, and there did tell the Duke of York that I had 
done; and he hath desired me to come to him at Sunday 
next in the afternoon, to read the letter over, by which I 
have more time to consider and correct it. To St. James’s; 
and by and by comes Monsieur Colbert, the French Am- 
bassador, to make his first visit to the Duke of York, 
and then to the Duchess: and I saw it: a silly piece of 
ceremony, he saying only a few formal words. A comely 
man, and in a black suit and cloak of silk, which is a strange 
fashion, now it hath been so long left off. This day I did 
first see the Duke of York’s room of pictures of some 
Maids of Honour, done by Lilly: good, but not like. 
Thence to Reeves’s, and bought a reading-glass, and so to 
my bookseller’s again, there to buy a Book of Martyrs,” 
which I did agree for; and so away home, and there busy 
very late at the correcting my great letter to the Duke of 
York, and so to bed. 

22d. Pretty well at ease, my great letter being now 
finished to my full content; and I thank God I have oppor- 
tunity of doing it, though I know it will set the Office and 
me by the ears for ever. This morning Captain Cocke 
comes, and tells me that he is now assured that it is true, 
what he told me the other day, that our whole Office will be 
turned out, only me, which, whether he says true or not, 
I know not, nor am much concerned, though I should be 
better contented to have it thus than otherwise. To the 
’Change, and thence home, and took London-bridge in my 
way; walking down Fish Street and Gracious Street, to 
see how very fine a descent they have now made down the 
hill, that it is become very easy and pleasant. Going 
through Leaden-Hall, it being market-day, I did see a 
woman catched, that had stole a shoulder of mutton off of a

in Windsor Castle, but now at Hampton Court.

butcher’s stall, and carrying it wrapt up in a cloth, in a . 
basket. The jade was surprised, and did not deny it, and 
the woman so silly, as to let her go that took it, only taking 
the meat. 

23d. (Lord’s day.) To church, and heard a good sermon 
of Mr. Gifford’s at our church, upon “Seek ye first the 
kingdom of Heaven and its righteousness, and all things 
shall be added to you.” A very excellent and persuasive, 
good and moral sermon. He showed, like a wise man, that 
righteousness is a surer moral way of being rich, than sin 
and villany. After dinner to the Office, Mr. Gibson and 
I, to examine my letter to the Duke of York, which, to 
my great joy, I did very well by my paper tube, without 
pain to my eyes. And I do mightily like what I have 
therein done; and did, according to the Duke of York’s 
order, make haste to St. James’s, and about four o’clock 
got thither: and there the Duke of York was ready, ex- 
pecting me, and did hear it all over with extraordinary 
content; and did give me many and hearty thanks, and in 
words the most expressive tell me his sense of my good 
endeavours, and that he would have a care of me on all 
occasions; and did, with much inwardness,’ tell me what 
was doing, suitable almost to what Captain Cocke tells me, 
of designs to make alterations in the Navy; and is most 
open to me in them, and with utmost confidence desires my 
further advice on all occasions: and he resolves to have my 
letter transcribed, and sent forthwith to the office. So, 
with as much satisfaction as I could possibly, or did hope 
for, and obligation on the Duke of York’s side professed to 
me, I away into the Park, and there met Mr. Pierce and 
his wife and sister and brother, and a little boy, and with 
them to Mulberry Garden, and spent 18s. on them, and 
there left them, she being again with child, and by it, the 
least pretty that ever I saw her. And so I away, and got a 
coach, and home, and there with my wife and W. Hewer, 
talking all the evening, my mind running on the business 
of the Office, to see what more I can do to the rendering 
myself acceptable and useful to all, and to the King. We 
to supper, and to bed. 

24th. My wife is upon hanging the long chamber, where 


*4, @., intimacy. 


10 DIARY OF [26th August, 


the girl lies, with the sad stuff’ that was in the best chamber, 
in order to the hanging that with tapestry. 

25th. Up, and by water to St. James’s; and there, with 
Mr. Wren, did discourse about my great letter, which the 
Duke of York hath given him; and he hath set it to be trans- 
cribed by Billings, his man, whom, as he tells me, he can 
most confide in for secresy, and is much pleased with it, 
and earnest to have it be; and he and I are like to be much 
together in the considering how to reform the Office, and 
that by the Duke of York’s command. Thence I, mightily 
pleased with this success, away to the Office, where all the 
morning, my head full of this business. And it is pretty 
how Lord Brouncker this day did tell me how he hears that 
a design is on foot to remove us out of the Office: and pro- 
poses that we two do agree to draw up a form of a new con- 
stitution of the Office, there to provide remedies for the 
evils we are now under, that so we may be beforehand with 
the world, which I agreed to, saying nothing of my design; 
and, the truth is, he is the best man of them all, and I would 
be glad, next myself, to save him; for, as he deserves best, 
so I doubt he needs his place most. 
‘ 26th. In my way to the Old Swan,” finding a great many 
people gathered together in Cannon Street about a man 
that was working in the ruins, and the ground did sink 
under him, and he sunk in, and was forced to be dug out 
again, but without hurt. It is strange to say with what 
speed® the people employed do pull down Paul’s steeple, 
and with what ease: it is said that it, and the choir are to 
be taken down this year, and another church begun in the 
room thereof, the next. Home by coach with Sir D. Gauden, 
who, by the way, tells me how the City do go on im several 
things toward the building of the public places, which I am 
glad to hear; and gives hope that in a few years it will be 
a glorious place; but we met with several stops and troubles 
in the way in the streets, so as makes it bad to travel in 
the dark now through the City. So I to Mr. Batelier’s by 
appointment, where I find my wife, and Deb., and Mercer;

Mrs. Pierce and her husband, son, and daughter; and Knipp 
and Harris, and W. Batelier, and his sister Mary, and cozen 
Gumbleton, a good-humoured, fat young gentleman, son to 
the Jeweller, that dances well; and here danced all night 
long, with a noble supper; and about two in the morning 
the table spread again for a noble breakfast beyond all 
moderation, that put me out of countenance, so much and 
so good. Mrs. Pierce and her people went home betimes, 
she being big with child; but Knipp and the rest staid till 
almost three in the morning, and then broke up. 

27th. Knipp home with us, and I to bed, and rose about 
six, mightily pleased with last night’s mirth. To St. James’s, 
and there, with Mr. Wren, did correct his copy of my letter, 
which the Duke of York hath signed in my very words, 
without alteration of a syllable." And so pleased there- 
with, I to my Lord Brouncker, who I find within, but hath 
business, and so comes not to the Office to-day. And so I 
by water to the Office, where we sat all the morning; and, 
just as the Board rises, comes the Duke of York’s letter, 
which I knowing, and the Board not being full, and desir- 
ing rather to have the Duke of York deliver it himself to 
us, I suppressed it for this day, my heart beginning to falsify 
in this business, as being doubtful of the trouble it may 
give me by provoking them; but, however, I am resolved 
to go through it, and it is too late to help it now. At 
noon to dinner to Captain Cocke’s, where I met with Mr. 
Wren; my going being to tell him what I have done, which 
he likes, and to confer with Cocke about our Office; who 
tells me that he is confident the design of removing our 
Officers do hold, but that he is sure that I am safe enough. 
So away home, and there met at Sir Richard Ford’s, with 
the Duke of York’s Commissioners about our Prizes, with 
whom we shall have some trouble, before we make an end 
with them. I with my wife, and W. Batelier, and Deb.;

carried them to Bartholomew Fayre, where we saw the dancing 
of the ropes and nothing else, it being late. 

28th. To White Hall, where the Duke of York did call 
me aside, and told me that he must speak with me in the 
afternoon, and with Mr. Wren, for that now he hath got the 
paper from my Lord Keeper’ about the exceptions taken 
against the management of the Navy; and so we are to 
debate upon answering them. At noon I home with Sir 
W. Coventry to his house; and there dined with him, and 
talked freely with him; and did acquaint him with what I 
have done, which he is well pleased with, and glad of: and 
do tell me that there are endeavours on foot to bring the 
Navy into new, but, he fears, worse hands. The Duke of 
York fell to work with us, the Committee being gone, in 
the Council-chamber; and there, with his own hand, did 
give us his long letter, telling us that he had received several 
from us, and now did give us one from him, taking notice 
of our several doubts and failures, and desired answer to it, 
as he therein desired; this pleased me well; and so fell to 
other business, and then parted. And the Duke of York, 
and Wren, and I, it being now candle-light, into the Duke 
of York’s closet in White Hall; and there read over this 
paper of my Lord Keeper’s, wherein are laid down the 
faults of the Navy, so silly, and the remedies so ridiculous, 
or else the same that are now already provided, that we 
thought it not to need any answer, the Duke of York being 
able himself to do it: that so it makes us admire the confi- 
dence of these men to offer a thing so silly, in a business of 
such moment. But it is a most perfect instance of the 
complexion of the times! and so the Duke of York said 
himself, who, I perceive, is mightily concerned in it, and 
do, again and again, recommend it to Mr. Wren and me 
together, to consider upon remedies fit to provide for him 
to propound for the King, before the rest of the world, and 
particularly the Commissioners of Accounts, who are men 
of understanding and order, to find our faults, and offer 
remedies of their own, which I am glad of, and will en- 
deavour to do something in it. So parted, and with much 
difficulty, by candle-light, walked over the Matted Gallery,

as it is now with the mats and boards all taken up, so 
that we walked over the rafters. But strange to see how 
hard matter the plaister of Paris is, that is there taken up, 
as hard as stone! And pity to see Holben’s work in the 
ceiling blotted on, and only whited over! My wife this 
day with Hales, to sit for her hand to be mended, in her 
picture. 

29th. Up, and all the morning at the Office, where the 
Duke of York’s long letter was read, to their great trouble, 
and their suspecting me to have been the writer of it. And 
at noon comes, by appointment, Harris to dine with me: 
and after dinner he and I to Chyrurgeons’-hall, where they 
are building it new, very fine; and there to see their theatre, 
which stood all the fire, and, which was our business, their 
great picture of Holben’s,’ thinking to have bought it, by 
the help of Mr. Pierce, for a little money: I did think to 
give 200/. for it, it being said to be worth 1000I.; but it is 
so spoiled that I have no mind to it, and is not a pleasant, 
though a good picture. Thence carried Harris to his play- 
house, where, though four o’clock, so few people there at 
* The Impertinents,” as I went out; and do believe they did 
not act, though there was my Lord Arlington and his com- 
pany there. So I out, and met my wife in a coach, and 
stopped her going thither to meet me; and took her, and 
Mercer, and Deb., to Bartholomew Fair, and there did see 
a ridiculous, obscene little stage-play, called “ Marry An- 
drey ;”” a foolish thing, but seen by every body: and so to 
Jacob Hall’s* dancing of the ropes; a thing worth seeing, 
and mightily followed. Writing to my father to-night not 


1The picture here mentioned still adorns ‘the Court Room at Barber 
Surgeons’ Hall, in Monkwell Street. It represents Henry VIII. in the act 
of delivering their charter to the Barber Surgeons’ and Surgeons’ Com- 
panies, which were united in the 32d year of that King: it contains eight- 
een figures. The painting is considered to be one of Holbein’s best works, 
and is in good preservation, though it may have been damaged by the 
Great Fire, when the Hall suffered so much as to require repair. We are 
not told whether the Company named any price, even if our Journalist 
had been inclined to the speculation. A fine print from the picture 
was made by B. Baron, in 1736, and it has again been engraved for 
Knight’s London, which contains a very interesting account of Barber 
Surgeons’ Hall: the names of the persons represented by Holbein will 
also be found in the Gentleman's Magazine, for April, 1789.

to unfurnish our house in the country for my sister, who 
is going to her own house, because I think I may have 
occasion myself to come thither; and so I do, by our being 
put out of the Office, which do not at all trouble me to 
think of. 

30th. (Lord’s day.) Walked to St. James’s and Pell Mell, 
and read over, with Sir W. Coventry, my long letter to the 
Duke of York, and which the Duke of York hath, from 
mine, wrote to the Board, wherein he is mightily pleased, 
and I perceive do put great value upon me, and did talk 
very openly on all matters of State, and how some people 
have got the bit into their mouths, meaning the Duke of 
Buckingham and his party, and would likely run away with 
all. But what pleased me mightily was to hear the good 
character he did give of my Lord Falmouth for his gene- 
rosity, good-nature, desire of public good, and low thoughts 
of his own wisdom; his employing his interest in the King 
to do good offices to all people, without any other fault than 
the freedom he do learn in France of thinking himself ob- 
liged to serve his King in his pleasures: and was Sir W. 
Coventry’s particular friend: and Sir W. Coventry do tell 
me very odde circumstances about the fatality of his death,* 
which are very strange.” Thence to White Hall to chapel, 
and heard the anthem, and did dine with the Duke of Albe- 
marle in a dirty manner as ever. All the afternoon, I 
sauntered up and down the house and Park. And there 
was a Committee for Tangier met, wherein Lord Middleton 
would, I think, have found fault with me for want of coles: 
but I slighted it, and he made nothing of it, but was 
thought to be drunk; and I see that he hath a mind to find 
fault with me and Creed, neither of us having yet applied 
ourselves to him about anything: but do talk of his profits 
and perquisites taken from him, and garrison reduced, and 
that it must be increased, and such things, as, I fear, he will 
be just such another as my Lord Tiviott and the rest, to 
ruin that place. So I to the Park, and there walk an hour 
or two; and in the King’s garden, and saw the Queen and

here did see my Lady Richmond, who is of a noble person 
as ever I did see, but her face worse than it was consider- 


ably by the smallpox: her sister* is also very handsome. 
_ Coming into the Park, and the door kept strictly, I had

_ with her, to walk by themselves. So to White Hall in the 
’ evening, to the Queen’s side, and there met the Duke of 
' York; and he did tell me and Sir W. Coventry, who was 
- with me, how the Lord Anglesey did take notice of our 
. reading his long and sharp letter to the Board; but that it 
' was the better, at least he said so. The Duke of York,

best part, I believe, that ever man acted. Thence to the 
Fayre, and saw “ Polichinelle,’” and so home. This night 
lay the first night in Deb.’s chamber, which is now hung 
with that, that hung our great chamber, and is now a very 
handsome room. This day Mrs. Batelier did give my wife 
a mighty pretty spaniel [Flora], which she values mightily, 
and is pretty; but, as a new comer, I cannot be fond 
of her. 

September Ist. To Bartholomew Fair, and there saw 
several sights; among others, the mare that tells money,” and 
many things to admiration; and, among others, come to me, 
when she was bid to go to him of the company that most 
loved a pretty wench in a corner. And this did cost me 
12d. to the horse, which I had flung him before, and did 
give me occasion to kiss a mighty belle fille that was exceed- 
ing plain, but fort belle. . 

2d. Fast-day for the burning of London, strictly ob- 
served. 

3d. To my bookseller’s, for ‘‘ Hobbs’s Leviathan,” which 
is now mightily called for; and what was heretofore sold 
for 8s. I now give 24s. for, at the second hand, and is sold 
for 30s., it being a book the Bishops will not let be printed 
again. 

4th. At the Office all the morning; and at noon my wife, 
and Deb., and Mercer, and W. Hewer and I to the Fair, 
and there, at the old house, did eat a pig, and was pretty 
merry, but saw no sights, my wife having a mind to see the 
play “ Bartholomew-Fair,” with puppets. And it is an ex- 
cellent play; the more I see it, the more I love the wit of 
it; only the business of abusing the Puritans begins to 
grow stale, and of no use, they being the people that, at 
last, will be found the wisest. And here Knipp come to us, 
and sat with us, and thence took coach in two coaches, and

is given in Reed’s Shakespeare, 1813, vol. vii., pp. 24, 26.

losing one another, my wife, and Knipp, and I to Hercules 
Pillars, and there supped, and I did take from her mouth 
the words and notes.of her song of “the Larke,” which 
pleases me mightily. And so set her at home, and away 
we home, where our company come before us. This night 
Knipp tells us that there is a Spanish woman lately come 
over, that pretends to sing as well as Mrs. Knight; both of 
whom I must endeavour to hear. 

5th. To Mr. Hales’s new house, where, I find, he hath 
finished my wife’s hand, which is better than the other; and 
here I find Harris’s picture,’ done in his habit of “ Henry 
the Fifth;”? mighty like a player, but I do not think the 
picture near so good as any yet he hath made for me: how- 
ever, it is pretty well. 

6th. (Lord’s day.) Up betimes, and got myself ready to 
go by water, and about nine o’clock took boat with Henry 
Russell to Gravesend, coming thither about one, where, at 
the Ship, I dined; and thither come to me Mr. Hosier, 
whom I went to speak with, about several businesses of 
work that he is doing, and I would have him do, of writing 
work, for me. And I did go with him to his lodging, and 
there did see his wife, a pretty tolerable woman, and do 
find him upon an extraordinary good work of designing a 
method of keeping our Storekeeper’s Accounts, in the 
Navy. Here I should have met with Mr. Wilson, but 
he is sick, and could not come from Chatham to me. So 
having done with Hosier, I took boat again the beginning 
of the flood, and come home by nine at night, with much 
pleasure, it being a fine day. Going down I spent reading of 
the ** Five Sermons of Five Several Styles,”’® worth compar-

*By Abraham Wright, Fellow of St. John’s Coll., Oxford, after-

Andrews his way: before the late King upon the first day of Lent. 
Second, in Bp. Hall’s way; before the clergie at the author’s own

ing one with another; but I do think, when all is done, 
that, contrary to the design of the book, the Presbyterian 
style and the Independent are the best of the five sermons 
to be preached; and this I do, by the best of my present 
judgment, think. My boy was with me, and read to me all 
day, and we sang a while together, and so home to supper 
a little, and so to bed. 

7th. With my Lord Brouncker (who was this day in an 
unusual manner merry, I believe with drink), J. Minnes, 
and W. Pen to Bartholomew-Fair; and there saw the 
dancing mare again, which, to-day, I find to act much worse 
than the other day, she forgetting many things which her 
master beat her for, and was mightily vexed; and then the 
dancing of the ropes, and also the little stage-play, which is 
very ridiculous. 

8th. Up; and by water to White Hall, and to St. 
James’s, there to talk a little with Mr. Wren about the 
private business we are upon, in the Office, where he tells 
me he finds that they all suspect me to be the author of the 
great letter,’ which I value not, being satisfied that it is the 
best thing I could ever do for myself; and so, after some 
discourse of this kind more, I back to the Office, and there 
all the morning; and after dinner, to it again, all the after- 
noon, and very late, and then home to supper, where met 
W. Batelier and Betty Turner, and, after some talk with 
them, and supper, we to bed. This day, I received so 
earnest an invitation again from Roger Pepys, to come to 
Sturbridge-Fair [at Cambridge], that I resolved to let my 
wife go, which she shall do the next week. 

9th. To the Duke of Richmond’s lodgings by his desire, 
by letter, yesterday. I find him at his lodgings in the little 
building in the bowling-green, at White Hall, that was be- 
gun to be built by Captain Rolt.? They are fine rooms. I

did hope to see his lady; but she, I hear, is in the country. 
His business was about his yacht, and he seems a mighty 
good-natured man, and did presently write me a warrant 
for a doe from Cobham, when the season comes, buck sea- 
son being past. I shall make much of this acquaintance, 
that I may live to see his lady near. Thence to Westmin- 
ster, to Sir R. Long’s Office:* and, going, met Mr. George 
Montagu, who talked and complimented me mightily; and 
long discourse I had with him, who, for news, tells me for 
certain that Trevor do come to be Secretary at Michaelmas, 
and that Morrice goes out, and he believes, without any 
compensation. He tells me that now Buckingham do rule 
all; and the other day, in the King’s journey he is now on, 
at Bagshot, and that way, he caused Prince Rupert’s horses 
to be turned out of an inne, and caused his own to be kept 
there, which the Prince complained of to the King, and the 
Duke of York seconded the complaint; but the King did 
over-rule it for Buckingham, by which there are high dis- 
pleasures among them; and Buckingham and Arlington, 
tule all. To White Hall, where Brouncker, W. Pen, and I 
attended the Commissioners of the Treasury about the 
victualling-contract, where high words between Sir Thomas 
Clifford and us, and myself more particularly, who told him 
that something, that he said was told him about this busi- 
ness, was a flat untruth. However, we went on to our 
business in the examination of the draught, and so parted, 
and I vexed at what happened. 

10th. There dined with me Batelier and his wife, and 
Mercer, and my people, at a good venison-pasty; and after 
dinner I and W. Howe, who come to see me, by water to 
the Temple, and met our four women, my wife, W. Batelier, 
Mercer, and Deb., at the Duke’s play-house, and there saw 
“The Maid in the Mill,” revived—a pretty, harmless old 
play. I to the Office, where a child is laid at Sir J. 
Minnes’s door, as there was one heretofore. Thence to 
Unthanke’s, and *Change, where wife did a little busi- 
ness, while Mercer and I staid in the coach; and, in a 
quarter of an hour, I taught her the whole Larke’s song 
perfectly, so excellent an eare she hath. Here we at 
Unthanke’s ‘light, and walked them to White Hall, my

wife mighty angry at it, and did give me ill words be- 
fore Batelier, which vexed me, but I made no matter of 
it, but vexed to myself. So landed them, it being fine 
moonshine, at the Bear,’ and so took water to the other 
side, and home. 

12th. To the Office, where till noon, and I did see 
great whispering among my brethren about their replies 
to the Duke of York, which vexed me, though I know 
no occasion for it; for I have no manner of ground to 
fear them. At noon home to dinner, and, after dinner, 
to work all the afternoon again. At home late, and so 
to bed. 

13th. (Lord’s day.) By coach to St. James’s, and met, 


to my wish, the Duke of York and Mr. Wren; and under- - 


stand the Duke of York hath received answers from 
Brouncker, W. Pen, and J. Minnes; and as soon as he saw 
me, he bid Mr. Wren read them over with me. So having 
no opportunity of talk with the Duke of York, and Mr. 
Wren some business to do, he put them into my hands like 
an idle companion, to take home with me before himself 
had read them, which do give me great opportunity of alter- 
ing my answer, if there was cause. After supper, made my 
wife to read them all over, wherein she is mighty useful to 
me; and I find them all evasions, and in many things false, 
and in few, to the full purpose. Little said reflective on 
me, though W. Pen and J. Minnes do mean me in one or 
two places, and J. Minnes a little more plainly would lead 
the Duke of York to question the exactness of my keeping 
my records; but all to no purpose. My mind is mightily 
pleased by this, if I can but get time to have a copy taken 
of them, for my future use; but I must return them to- 
morrow. So to bed. 

14th. Up betimes, and walked to the Temple, and stopped, 
viewing the Exchange, and Paul’s, and St. Fayth’s, where 
strange how the very sight of the stones falling from the top 
of the steeple do make me sea-sick! But no hurt, I hear, 
hath yet happened in all this work of the steeple, which is 
very much. So from the Temple I by coach to St. James’s, 
where I find Sir W. Pen and Lord Anglesey, who delivered

this morning his answer to the Duke of York, but I 
could not see it. But after being above with the Duke 
of York, I down with Mr. Wren; and he and I read all 
over that I had, and I expounded them to him, and did so 
order it that I had them home with me, so thatI shall, to 
my heart’s wish, be able to take a copy of them. After 
dinner, I by water to White Hall; and there, with the 
Cofferer’ and Sir Stephen Fox, attended the Commisssions 
of the Treasury, about bettering our fund; and are pro- 
mised it speedily. 

15th. Up mighty betimes, my wife and people, Mercer 
lying here all night, by three o’clock, and I about five; and 
they before, and I after them, to the coach in Bishopsgate 
Street, which was not ready to set out. So took wife and 
Mercer and Deb. and W. Hewer, who are all to set out this 
day for Cambridge, to cozen Roger Pepys’s, to see: Stur- 
bridge Fayre; and I showed them the Exchange, which is 
very finely carried on, with good dispatch. So walked back 
and saw them gone, there being only one man in the coach 
besides them; and so home to the Office. To the King’s 
playhouse, to see a new play, acted but yesterday, a trans- 
lation out of French by Dryden, called “The Ladys 4 la 
Mode:’” so mean a thing as, when they came to say it would 
be acted again to-morrow, both he that said it, Beeson,® and 
the pit fell a-laughing, there being this day not a quarter of 
the pit full. 

16th. Walking it to the Temple, and in my way observe 
that the Stockes* are now pulled quite down; and it will

2No play called “The Ladies 4 la Mode” has been traced in 1668, 
or in any earlier or later year. A comedy, entitled “ Love a la Mode,” 
was brought out very soon after the Restoration, but it was anonymous. 
Pepys is believed to be the only authority for attributing the piece to 
Dryden, who possibly had a hand in it, but did not print the play, on 
account of its ill success. A comedy, named “ Damoyselles 4 la Mode,” 
and printed in 1667, 8vo., is mentioned by Langbaine, p. 56, as written 
by Richard Flecknoe, and dedicated to the Duchess of Newcastle; but it 
does not appear to have ever been acted, though, in point of title and 
date, it comes very near what is wanted.

make the coming into Cornhill and Lumberd Street mighty 
noble. I stopped, too, at Paul’s, and there did go into St. 
Fayth’s Church, and also in the body of the west part of 
the Church; and do see a hideous sight of the walls of the 
Church ready to fall, that I was in fear as long as I was in 
it: and here I saw the great vaults underneath the body of 
the Church. No hurt, I hear, is done yet, since their 
going to pull down the Church and steeple; but one man, 
one Mound, this week fell from the top of the roof, of the 
east end, that stands next the steeple, and there broke him- 
self all to pieces. It is pretty here to see how the late 
Church was but a case wrought over the old Church; for 
you may see the very old pillars standing whole within the 
wall of this. When I come to St. James’s, I find the 
Duke of York gone with the King to see the muster of the 
Guards in Hyde Park; and their Colonel, the Duke of 
Monmouth, to take his command this day of the King’s 
Life-Guard, by surrender of my Lord Gerard. So I took 
a hackney-coach and saw it all: and indeed it was mighty 
noble, and their firing mighty fine, and the Duke of Mon- 
mouth in mighty rich clothes: but the well-ordering of the 
men I understand not. Here, among a thousand coaches 
that were there, I saw and spoke to Mrs. Pierce: and by 
and by Mr. Wren hunts me out, and gives me my Lord 
Anglesey’s answer to the Duke of York’s letter, where, I 
perceive, he do do what he can to hurt me, by bidding the 
Duke of York call for my books: but this will do me all 
the right in the world, and yet I am troubled at it. So 
away out of the Park, and home; and there Mr. Gibson 
and I to dinner: and all the afternoon with him, writing 
over anew, and a little altering, my answer to the Duke of 
York, which I have not yet delivered, and so have the 
opportunity of doing it after seeing all their answers, 


purchased an equestrian statue of John Sobieski trampling down the 
Turk; which, when it had undergone some necessary alterations, he 
erected in Stocks Market as Charles II. trampling on Oliver Cromwell. 
The Mansion House now stands on the site. About 1737, the statue 
was presented to Robert Viner, the lineal representative of the convivial 
Lord Mayor, and the Market transferred to the space gained by the 
covering over the Fleet Ditch. This Fleet Market has, in its turn, 
given place to Farringdon Street.

though this do give me occasion to alter very little. This 
done, he to write it over, and I to the Office, where late, 
and then home; and he had finished it; and then he to 
read to me the Life of Archbishop Laud,’ wrote by Dr. 
Heylin; which is a shrewd book, but that which I believe will 
do the Bishops in general no great good, but hurt, it 
pleads for so much Popish. This day my father’s letters 
tell me of the death of poor Fancy in the country, big with 
puppies, which troubles me, as being one of my eldest ac- 
quaintances and servants. Also good Stankes is dead. 

17th. At noon comes Knipp, with design to dine with 
Lord Brouncker, but she being undressed, and there being 
much company, dined with me: and after dinner I out with 
her, and carried her to the playhouse; and in the way did 
give her five guineas as a fairing, I having given her nothing 
a great while, and her coming hither sometimes having been 
matter of cost to her. So to the King’s playhouse, and saw 
* Rollo, Duke of Normandy,”’ which, for old acquaintance, 
pleased me pretty well. This evening Batelier comes to 
tell me that he was going down to Cambridge to my com- 
pany, to see the Fair, which vexed me, and the more 
because I fear he do know that Knipp did dine with me 
to-day.® 

18th. To St. James’s, and there took a turn or two in the 
Park; and then up to the Duke of York, and there had 
opportunity of delivermg my answer to his late letter, 
which he did not read, but give to Mr. Wren, as looking 
on it as a thing I needed not have done, but only that I 
might not give occasion to the rest to suspect my commu- 
nication with the Duke of York against them. So now I 
am at rest in that matter, and shall be more when my 
copies are finished of their answers. To White Hall, and 
thither comes the Duke of York to us, where I find him 
somewhat sour, and particularly angry with Lord Anglesey 
for his not being there now, nor at other times. To the 
King’s house, and saw a piece of “ Henry the Fourth,” at 
the end of the play, thinking to have gone abroad with 
Knipp, but it was too late, and she to get her part against

to-morrow, in “ The Silent Woman,’ 
at home, and away home. 

19th. To the King’s playhouse, and there saw “ The Silent 
Woman;” the best comedy, I think, that ever was wrote; 
and sitting by Shadwell’ the poet, he was big with admi- 
ration of it. Here was my Lord Brouncker and W. 
Pen and their ladies in the box, being grown mighty kind 
of a sudden; but, God knows, it will last but a little while, 
I dare swear. Knipp did her part mighty well.* And so 
home straight, and to write, and particularly to my cozen 
Roger, who, W. Hewer and my wife writes me, do use them 
with mighty plenty and noble entertainment: so to supper, 
and to bed. All the news now is, that Mr. Trevor is for 
certain to be Secretary in Morrice’s place, which the Duke 
of York did himself tell me yesterday; and also that Par- 
liament is to be adjourned to the 1st of March, which do 
please me well, hoping thereby to get my things in a little 
better order than I should have done; and the less attend- 
ances at that end of the town in winter. 

20th. (Lord’s day.) 'To church, and heard a dull sermon 
of Dr. Hicks, who is a suitor to Mrs. Howell, the widow of 
our turner of the Navy; and thence home to dinner, stay- 
ing till past one o’clock for Harris, whom I invited, and to 
bring Shadwell the poet with him; but they came not, and 
so a good dinner lost, through my own folly. And so to 
dinner alone, having since church heard the boy read over 
Dryden’s Reply to Sir R. Howard’s Answer, about his 
Essay of Poesy, and a letter in answer® to that; the latter 
whereof is mighty silly, in behalf of Howard. To visit Mrs. 
Pierce, with whom, and him, I staid a little while, and do 
hear how the Duchess of Monmouth is at this time in great 
trouble of the shortness of her lame leg, which is likely to

So back, and walked in Gray’s Inn walks a while, but little 
company; and so over the fields to Clerkenwell, to see 
whether I could find that the fair Botelers” do live there 
still, I seeing Frances the other day in a coach with Cary 
Dillon,* her old servant, but know not where she lives. 
21st. To St. James’s, and there the Duke of York did of 
his own accord come to me, and tell me that he had read, 
and do like of, my answers to the objections which he did 
give me the other day, about the Navy; and so did Sir W. 
Coventry, too, who told me that the Duke of York had 
shown him them. To Southwarke-Fair, very dirty, and 
there saw the puppet-show of Whittington, which was 
pretty to see; and how that idle thing do work upon people 
that see it, and even myself too! And thence to Jacob 
Hall’s dancing on the ropes, where I saw such action as I 
never saw before, and mightily worth seeing; and here took 
acquaintance with a fellow that carried me to a taverne, 
whither come the musick of this booth, and by and by 
Jacob Hall himself, with whom I had a mind to speak, to 
hear whether he had ever any mischief by falls in his time. He 
told me, “ Yes, many; but never to the breaking of a limb:” 
he seems a mighty strong man. So giving them a bottle or 
two of wine, I away with Payne, the waterman. He, seeking 
me at the play, did get a link to light me, and so light me 
to the Beare,* where Bland, my waterman, waited for me

Stoake, in Somersetshire, and widow of Henry, Lord Folliott, of Bally-

who had killed Colonel Giles Rawlins in a duel. See 19th Aug., 1662, 
(where the note is in error.) He afterwards held several posts under 
Charles II. and James II., and upon the death, in 1684, of his nephew, 
the poet, he succeeded as 5th Earl of Roscommon. He married, not 
Francis Boteler, but Katharine, daughter of John Werden, of Chester, 
and Sister of Major-General Robert Werden, (before mentioned,) 
Groom of the Bedchamber to the Duke of York, and Comptroller of 
his Household when King. Lord Roscommon died 25th Nov., 1689.

with gold and other things he kept for me, to the value of 
401. and more, which I had about me, for fear of my poc- 
kets being cut. So by link-light through the bridge, it 
being mighty dark, but still weather, and so home, where I 
find my draught of “ The Resolution ” come, finished from 
Chatham; but will cost me, one way or other, above 12/. 
or 13/., in the board, frame, and garnishing, which is a little 
too much, but I will not be beholden to the King’s officers 
that do it. This day I met Mr. Moore in the New Ex- 
change, and had much talk of my Lord’s concernments. 
This day also came out first the new five-pieces in gold, 
coined by the Guiny Company;* and I did get two pieces of 
Mr. Holder. 

22d. To the Office, where sitting all the morning: at 
noon, home to dinner, with my people, and so to the Office 
again, where busy all the afternoon, and im the evening 
spent my time walking in the dark, in the garden, to favour 
my eyes, which I find nothing but ease do help. In the 
garden there comes to me my Lady Pen and Mrs. Turner 
and Markham, and we sat and talked together, and I car- 
ried them home, and. there eat a bit of something, and by 
and by comes Sir W. Pen, and eat with us, and mighty 
merry—in appearance, at least, he being on all occasions 
glad to be at friendship with me, though we hate one an- 
other, and know it on both sides. This day Mr. Wren did 
give me, at the Board, Commissioner Middleton’s answer 
to the Duke of York’s great letter; so that now I have all 
of them. 

23d. At noon comes Mr. Evelyn to me, about some busi- 
ness with the Office, and there in discourse tells me of his 
loss, to the value of 5001., which he hath met with, in a late 
attempt of making of bricks’ upon an adventure with others, 
by which he presumed to have got a great deal of money: 


1 Guineas took their names from the gold brought from Guinea, by 
the African Company, who, as an encouragement to bring over gold to 
be coined, were permitted by their charter from Charles II., to have 
their stamp of an elephant upon the coin. There were likewise five- 
pound pieces, like the guinea, with the inscription upon the rim, like 
the crown piece. 


2Fivelyn seems to allude to this speculation, when he records that 
“Sir John Kiviet came to article with me about his brickwork.”—

mistaken. To White Hall, to attend the Commissioners of 
the Treasury with Alderman Backewell, about 10,000/. he 
is to lend us for Tangier. 

25th. W. Batelier with me, who is lately come from Im- 
pington, beyond which I perceive he went not, whatever his 
pretence at first was; and so he tells me how well and 
merry all are there, and how nobly used by my cozen. The 
Duke of York did tell me how Clifford is for Child, and 
for removing of old Officers, he saying plainly to-night, that 
though D. Gauden was a man that had done the best ser- 
vice that he believed any man, or any ten men, could have 
done, yet that it was for the King’s interest not to let it lie 
too long in one hand, lest nobody should be able to serve 
him but one. But the Duke of York did openly tell him 
that he was not for removing of old servants that had done 
well, neither in this place, nor in any other place, which is 
very nobly said. 

26th. Could sleep but little last night, for my concern- 
ments in this business of the victualling, for Sir D. Gauden, 
and he comes to me, and there I did tell him all, and give 
him my advice, and so he away. To Charing Cross, and 
there into the great new Ordinary,” by my Lord Mul- 
grave’s, being led thither by Mr. Beale, one of Oliver’s, 
and now of the King’s Guards; and he sat with me while 
I had two quilted pigeons, very handsome and good meat: 
and there he and I talked of our old acquaintances, W. 
Clerke and others, he being a very civil man, and so parted. 
To White Hall, and there attended the King and Coun- 
cil. I present, and then withdrew: and they spent two 
hours at least, afterwards about it, and at last rose; and 
to my great content, the Duke of York, at coming out, 
told me that it was carried for D. Gauden at 6d., 8d., and 
82d.; but with great difficulty, I understand, both from him 
and others, so much that Sir Edward Walker told me that 
he prays to God he may never live to need to plead his

merit, for D. Gauden’s sake; for that it hath stood him in 
no stead in this business at all, though both he and all the 
world that speaks of him, speaks of him as the most deserv- 
ing man of any servant of the King’s, of the whole nation, 
and so I think he is: but it is done, and my heart is glad 
at it. To my house, where D. Gauden did talk a little, and 
he do mightily acknowledge my kindness to him, and I know 
I have done the King and myself good service in it. This 
noon I went to my Lady Peterborough’s house, and talked 
with her about the money due to her Lord, and it gives me 
great trouble, her importunity and impertinency about it. 
This afternoon at Court I met with Lord Hinchinbroke, 
newly come out of the country, who tells me that Creed’s 
business’ with Mrs. Pickering will do, which I am neither 
troubled nor glad at. 
27th. (Lord’s day.) To White Hall, calling in at Somerset 
House Chapel, and there did hear a little masse: and so 
to White Hall; and there the King being gone to Chapel, I 
to walk all the morning in the Park, where I met Mr. 
Wren; and he and I walked together in the Pell-Mell, it 
being most summer weather that ever was seen: and here 
talking of several things: of the corruption of the Court, 
and how unfit it is for ingenuous men, and himself parti- 
cularly, to live in it, where a man cannot live but he must 
spend money, and cannot get it suitably, without breach of 
his honour: and he did thereupon tell me of the basest 
thing of my Lord Barkeley that ever was heard of any man, 
which was this:—how the Duke of York’s Commissioners 
do let his wine-licenses at a bad rate, and being offered a 
better, they did persuade the Duke of York to give some 
satisfaction to the former to quit it, and let it to the latter, 
which being done, my Lord Barkeley did make the bargain 
for the former to have 1500/1. a-year to quit it; whereof, 
since, it is come to light that they were to have but 800I. 
and himself 7001., which the Duke of York hath ever since 
for some years paid, though the second bargain hath been 
broken, and the Duke of York lost by it, half of what the 
first was. He told me that there had been a seeming ac- 
commodation between the Duke of York and the Duke of 


* Their marriage, which took place soon after.

Buckingham and Lord Arlington, the two latter desiring 
it; but yet that there is not true agreement between them, 
but they do labour to bring in all new creatures into play, 
and the Duke of York do oppose it. Thence, he gone, I 
to the Queen’s Chapel, and there heard some good singing; 
and so to White Hall, and saw the King and Queen at dinner: 
and thence with Sir Stephen Fox to dinner; and the Cof- 
ferer’ with us; and there mighty kind usage, and good 
discourse. Thence spent all the afternoon walking in the 
Park, and then in the evening at Court, on the Queen’s 
side; and there met Mr. Godolphin,’ who tells me that the 
news is true that we heard yesterday, of my Lord Sand- 
wich’s being come to Mount’s-Bay, in Cornwall. This night, 
in the Queen’s drawing-room, my Lord Brouncker told me 
the difference that is now between the three Ambassadors 
here, the Venetian,* French,* and Spaniard;’ the third not 
being willing to make a visit to the first, because he would 
not receive him at the door; who is willing to give him as 
much respect as he did to the French, who was used no other- 
wise, and who refuses now to take more of him, upon be- 
ing desired thereto, in order to the making an accommodation 
in this matter.

do. Thence to my Lord Burlington’s house,’ the first time 
I ever was there, it being the house built by Sir John Den- 
ham, next to Clarendon House: and here I visited my Lord 
Hinchinbroke and his lady; Mr. Sidney Montagu being last 
night come to town unexpectedly from Mount’s Bay, where 
he left my Lord well, eight days since, so as we now hourly 
expect to hear of his arrival at Portsmouth. Sidney is 
mighty grown; and I am glad I am here to see him at his 
first coming, though it cost me dear, for here I come to be 
necessitated to supply them with 500l. for my Lord.* He 
sent him up with a declaration to his friends, of the necessity 
of his being presently supplied with 2000/.; but I do not 
think he will get 10001. However, I think it becomes my 
duty to my Lord to do something extraordinary in this, and 
the rather because I have been remiss in writing to him 
during this voyage, more than ever I did in my life, and 
more indeed than was fit for me. By and by comes Sir W. 
Godolphin to see Mr. Sidney, who, I perceive, is much 
dissatisfied that he should come to town last night, and not 
yet be with my Lord Arlington, who, and all the town, hear 
of his being come, and he did, it seems, take notice of it to 
Godolphin this morning: so that I perceive this remissness 
in affairs do continue in my Lord’s managements still, which 
I am sorry for; but, above all, to see in what’ a condition 
my Lord is for money, that I dare swear he do not know 
where to take up 5001. of any man in England at this time, 
upon his word, but of myself, as I believe by the sequel 
hereof it will appear. Here I first saw and saluted my 
Lady Burlington,’ a very fine-speaking lady, and a good

Here my Lady Hinchinbroke tells me that she hath bought 
most of the wedding-clothes for Mrs. Pickering, so that the 
thing’ is gone through, and will soon be ended. Here I 
also, standing by a candle that was brought for sealing a 
letter, do set my periwigg a-fire, which made such an odd 
noise, nobody could tell what it was till they saw the flame, 
my back being to the candle. To my vintner’s, and there 
did only look upon his wife, which is mighty handsome; 
and so to my glove and ribbon shop, in Fenchurch Street, 
and did the like there. And there, stopping against the 
door of the shop, saw Mrs. Horsfall,’? now a widow, in a 
coach. I to her, and shook her by the hand, and so she 
away; and I by coach to the King’s playhouse, and there 
say the “City Match; not acted these thirty years, 
and but a silly play: the King and Court there; the house, 
for the women’s sake, mighty full. So I to White Hall, 
and there all the evening on the Queen’s-side; and it being 
a most summer-like day, and a fine warm evening, the 
Italians came in a barge under the leads, before the Queen’s 
drawing-room; and so the Queen and ladies went out, and 
heard them, for almost an hour: and the singing was indeed 
very good together; but yet there was but one voice alone 
did appear considerable, and that was Signor Joanni.* This 
done, by and by they went in; and here I saw Mr. Sidney 
Montagu kiss the Queen’s hand, who was mighty kind to 
him, and the ladies looked mightily on him; and the King 
came by and by, and did talk to him. So I away by coach 
with Alderman Backewell home, who is mighty kind to me, 
more than ordinary, in his expressions. But I do hear this 
day what troubles me, that Sir W. Coventry is quite out of 
play, the King seldom speaking to him; and that there is 
a design of making a Lord Treasurer, and that my Lord 
Arlington shall be the man; but I cannot believe it. But 
yet the Duke of Buckingham hath it in his mind, and those 
with him, to make a thorough alteration in things; and,

shrewd man, but a drinking man, I think, as the world 
says; but a man that hath seen much of the world, and is a 
Scot. I offered him my service, though I can do him little; 
but he sends his man home with me, where I made him 
stay till I had gone to Sir W. Pen, to bespeak him about 
Mr. Hater, who, contrary to my fears, did appear very 
friendly, to my great content; for I was afraid of his appear- 
ing for his man Burroughs. But he did not; but did declare 
to me afterwards his intentions to desire an excuse in his 
own business, to be eased of the business of Comptroller, 
his health not giving him power to stay always in town, but 
he must go into the country. Home, where I find Sir H. 
Cholmly come to town; and is come hither to see me: and 
he is a man that I love mightily, as being, of a gentleman, 
the most industrious that ever I saw. He staid with me 
awhile talking, and telling me his obligations to my Lord 
Sandwich, which I was glad of; and that the Duke of Buck- 
ingham is now chief of all men in this kingdom, which I 
knew before; and that he do think the Parliament will hardly 
ever meet again; which is a great many men’s thoughts, and 
I shall not be sorry for it. I home, and there, to dinner,

that James Southern do petition the Duke of York for the

and also the Board, though, upon discourse, after he was 
gone, we did resolve to move hard for our Clerks, and that 
places of preferment may go according to seniority and 
merit. After doing some business, I with Mr. Turner to

him about his appearing to Mr. Wren as a friend to Mr.

Backewell’s, about the getting of his 10001. paid;* and here 
he did take occasion to discourse about the business of the 
Dutch war, which, he says, he was always an enemy to; 
and did discourse well of it, I saying little, but pleased to 
hear him talk; and to see how some men may by age come 
to know much, and yet by their drinking and other pleasures, 
render themselves not very considerable. I did this day 
find by discourse with somebody, that this nobleman was 
the great Major-General Middleton, that was of the Scots 
army, in the beginning of the late war against the King. 

14th. To White Hall, and there walked to St. James’s, 
where I find the Court mighty full, it beg the Duke of 
York’s birthday; and he mighty fine, and all the musick, 
one after another, to my great content. Here I met with 
Sir H. Cholmly; and he and I to walk, and to my Lord 


doctrine of the despised Quakers....by W. Penn, whom divine love 
constrains, in holy contempt, to trample on Egypt’s glory, not fear- 
ing the King’s wrath, having beheld the Majesty of Him who is

Barkeley’s new house,’ there to see a new experiment of a 
cart, which, by having two little wheeles fastened to the 
axle-tree, is said to make it go with half the ease and more, 
than another cart; but we did not see the trial made. To 
St. James’s, and there met my brethren; but the Duke of 
York being gone out, and to-night being a play there, and 
a great festival, we would not stay, but went all of us to 
the King’s playhouse, and there saw “ The Faythful Shep- 
herdess ” again, that we might hear the French Eunuch 
sing, which we did, to our great content; though I do ad- 
mire his action as much as his singing, being both beyond 
all I ever saw or heard. 

15th. After dinner, my wife and I and Deb., out by 
coach to the upholsterer’s in Long Lane, Alderman Reeve’s, 
and then to Alderman Crow’s, to see variety of hangings, and 
were mightily pleased therewith; and at last I think we shall 
pitch upon the best suit of Apostles, where three pieces for 
my room will come to almost 801.: so home. This day at 
the Board comes unexpected the warrants from the Duke of 
York for Mr. Turner and Hater, for the places they desire, 
which contents me mightily. 

16th. I took my wife by coach and Deb., and showed her 
Mr. Wren’s hangings and bed, at St. James’s, and Sir W. 
Coventry’s in the Pell-Mell, for our satisfaction in what 
we are going to buy; and so by Mr. Crow’s, home, about his 
hangings, and do pitch upon buying his second suit of 
Apostles—the whole suit, which comes to 83l1.; and this 
we think the best for us, having now the whole suit, to 
answer any other rooms or service. With Mr. Hater by 
water to St. James’s: there Mr. Hater, to give Mr. Wren 
thanks for his kindness about his place that he hath lately 
granted him, of Petty Purveyor of petty missions, upon the 
removal of Mr. Turner to be Storekeeper at Deptford, on 
the death of Harper. ‘To my aunt Wight’s, the first time, 
I think, these two years; and there mighty kindly used,

all come home to-night. 

17th. Late home, and there with much pleasure getting 
Mr. Gibbs, that writes well, to write the name upon my 
new draught of “ The Resolution;” and so set it up, and 
altered the situation of some of my pictures in my closet, 
to my extraordinary content. Mr. Moore and Seymour 
were with me this afternoon, who tell me that my Lord 
Sandwich was received mighty kindly by the King, and is 
in exceeding great esteem with him, and the rest about him; 
but I doubt it will be hard for him to please both the King 
and the Duke of York, which I shall be sorry for. Mr. 
Moore tells me the sad condition my Lord is in, in his estate 
and debts; and the way he now lives in, so high, and so 
many vain servants about him, that he must be ruined, if he 
do not take up, which, by the grace of God, I will put him 
upon, when I come to see him. 

18th. With Lord Brouncker to Lincolne’s Inn, and Mr. 
. Ball, to visit Dr. Wilkins, now newly Bishop of Chester: 
and he received us mighty kindly; and had most excellent 
discourse from him about his “‘ Book of Reall Character :’* 
and so I with Lord Brouncker to White Hall, and there saw 
the Queen and some ladies. 

19th. With my wife and Deb. and Mr. Harman, the 
upholsterer, and carried them to take measure of Mr. Wren’s 
bed in St. James’s, I being resolved to have just such an- 
other made me. To the Duke of York’s playhouse; and 
there saw, the first time acted, ‘‘ The Queen of Arragon,’” an 
old Blackfriars’ play, but an admirable one, so good that 
I am astonished at it, and wonder where it hath lain asleep 
all this while, that I have never heard of it before. Here 
met W. Batelier and Mrs. Hunt, Deb.’s aunt; and saw her 
home—a very witty woman, and one that knows this play, 
and understands a play mighty well. Left at her home in 
Jewen Street, and we home, and to supper, and my wife to 
read to me, and so to bed.

grown lazy and proud. ‘This girl to stay only till we have 
a boy, which I intend to keep when I have a coach, which 
I am now about. At this time my wife and I mighty busy 
laying out money in dressing up our best chamber, and 
thinking of a coach and coachman and horses, &c.; and the 
more because of Creed’s being now married to Mrs. Picker- 
ing; a thing I could never have expected, but it is done 
about seven or ten days since. I walked out to look for a 
coach, and saw many; and did light on one’ for which I bid

21st. At noon to dinner to Mr. Batelier’s, his mother 
coming this day a-housewarming to him, and several friends 
of his, to which he invited us. Here mighty merry, and his 
mother the same: I heretofore took her for a gentlewoman 
of understanding. I rose from table before the rest, be- 
cause under an obligation to go to my Lord Brouncker’s, 
where to meet several gentlemen of the Royal Society, to 
go and make a visit to the French Embassador Colbert, 
at Leicester House,” he having endeavoured to make one or 
two to my Lord Brouncker, as our President, but he was 
not within, but I came too late, they being gone before: 
' so I followed to Leicester House ;* but they are gone in and 
up before me; and so I away to the New Exchange, and 
there staid for my wife, and she come, we to Cow Lane, and 
there I showed her the coach which I pitch on, and she is 
out of herself for joy almost. But the man not within, so 
did nothing more towards an agreement, but to Mr. Crow’s 
about a bed, to have his advice. Memorandum: that from 
Crow’s, we went back to Charing Cross, and there left my 
people at their tailor’s, while I to my Lord Sandwich’s lodg- 
ings, who came to town the last night, and is come thither 
to lye: and met with him within: and among others my 
new cozen Creed, who looks mighty soberly; and he and I 
saluted one another with mighty gravity, till we came to a 
little more freedom of talk about it. But here I hear

that Sir Gilbert Pickering is lately dead, about three days 
since, which makes some sorrow there, though not much, 
because of his being long expected to die, having been in 
a lethargy long. So waited on my Lord to Court, and 
there staid and saw the ladies awhile: and thence to my 
wife, and took them up; and so home, and to supper and 
bed. 

22d. Up, and W. Batelier’s Frenchman, a perriwigg 
' maker, comes and brings me a new one, which I liked and 
paid him for: a mighty genteel fellow. To Crow’s, and 
there did see some more beds; and we shall, I think, pitch 
upon a camlott one, when all is done. Thence to Arundell 
House, where the first time we’ have met since the vaca- 
tion, and not much company: but here much good dis- 
course, and afterwards my Lord and others and I to the 
Devil tavern,” and there eat and drank, and so home by 
coach; and there found my uncle Wight and aunt, and 
Woolly and his wife, and there supped, and mighty merry. 
And anon they gone, and Mrs. Turner staid, who was there 
also to talk of her husband’s business; and the truth is, I 
was the less pleased to talk with her, for that she hath not 
yet owned, in any fit manner of thanks, my late and princi- 
pal service to her husband about his place, which I alone 
ought to have been thanked for, if they know as much as I 
do; but let it go: if they do not own it, I shall have it in 
my hand to teach them to do it. This day word come from 
all the Principal Officers to bring the Commissioners of Ac- 
counts their patents, which I did in the afternoon, by leay- 
ing it at their office, but am troubled at what should be their 
design therein.

within, but busy, private; and so I staid a little talking 
with the young gentlemen; and so away with Mr. Pierce,

wedding, which is kindly done. Pierce do tell me, among 
other news, the late frolick and debauchery of Sir Charles 
Sedley and Buckhurst, running up and down all the night 
almost naked, through the streets; and at last fighting, and 
being beat by the watch and clapped up all night; and how 
the King takes their parts; and my Lord Chief Justice 
Keeling hath laid the constable by the heels’ to answer it 
next Sessions: which is a horrid shame. How the King 
and these gentlemen did make the fiddlers of Thetford, this 
last progress, to sing them all the obscene songs they could 
think of. How Sir W. Coventry was brought the other day 
to the Duchess of York by the Duke, to kiss her hand; and 
did acknowledge his unhappiness to occasion her so much 
sorrow, declaring his intentions in it, and praying her par- 
don; which she did give him upon his promise to make good 
his pretences of innocence to her family, by his faithfulness 
to his master, the Duke of York. That the Duke of Buck- 
ingham is now all in all, and will ruin Coventry, if he can: 
and that Coventry do now rest wholly upon the Duke of 
York for his standing, which is a great turn. He tells me 
that my Lady Castlemaine, however, is a mortal enemy to 
the Duke of Buckingham, which I understand not: but, it 
seems, she is disgusted with his greatness, and his ill usage 
of her. That the King was drunk at Saxam* with Sedley, 
Buckhurst, &c., the night that my Lord Arlington came 
thither, and would not give him audience, or could not; 
which is true, for it was the night that I was there, and saw 
the King go up to his chamber, and was told that the King 
had been drinking. He tells me, too, that the Duke of 
York did the next day chide Bab. May for his occasioning 
the King’s giving himself up to these gentlemen, to the 
neglecting of my Lord Arlington: to which he answered

merrily, that there was no man in England that had a head 
to lose, durst do what they do, every day, with the King, 
and asked the Duke of York’s pardon: which is a sign of a 
mad world. God bless us out of it! 

24th. This morning comes to me the coachmaker,’ and 
agreed with me for 53/., and to stand fo the courtesy of what 
more I should give him upon the finishing of the coach: 
he is likely, also, to fit me with a coachman. Lord Brouncker 
tells me that the making Sir J. Minnes a bare Commissioner* 
is now in doing, which I am glad of; but he speaks of two 
new Commissioners, which I do not believe. 

25th. (Lord’s day.) Up, and discoursing with my wife 
about our house, and many new things we are doing of, and 
so to church JI, and there find Jack Fenn come, and his 
wife, a pretty black woman: I never saw her before, nor 
took notice of her now. At night, W. Batelier comes and 
sups with us; and, after supper, to have my head combed 
by Deb. 

26th. I was obliged to attend the Duke of York, think- 
ing to have had a meeting of Tangier to-day, but had not; 
but he did take me and Mr. Wren into his closet, and there 
did press me to prepare what I had to say upon the answers 
of my fellow-officers to his great letter, which I promised 
to do against his coming to town again, the next week: and 
so to other discourse, finding plainly that he is in trouble, 
and apprehensions of the Reformers, and would be found to 
do what he can towards reforming, himself. And so thence 
to my Lord Sandwich’s, where, after long stay he being in 
talk with others privately, I to him: and there he, taking 
physic and keeping his chamber, I had an hour’s talk with 
him about. the ill posture of things at this time, while the 
King gives countenance to Sir Charles Sedley and Lord 
Buckhurst. He tells me that he thinks his matters do 
stand well with the King, and hopes to have dispatch to his 
mind; but I doubt it, and do see that he do fear it, too. He 
told me of my Lady Carteret’s trouble about my writing of 
that letter of the Duke of York’s lately to the Office, which I 
did not own, but declared to be of no injury to Sir G. Car-

teret, and that I would write a letter to him to satisfy him 
therein. But this I am in pain how to do, without doing 
myself wrong, and the end I had, of preparing a justifi- 
cation to myself hereafter, when the faults of the Navy come 
to be found out: however, I will do it in the best manner 
I can. 

27th. This evening Mr. Spong come, and sat late with 
me, and first told me of the instrument called a parallel- 
ogram, which I must have one of, shewing me his practice 
thereon, by a map of England. 

28th. By coach with Mr. Gibson to Chancery Lane, and 
there made oath before a Master in Chancery to the Tangier 
account of fees, and so to White Hall, where, by and by, a 
Committee met, my Lord Sandwich there, but his report 
was not received, it being late, but only a little business 
done, about the supplying the place with victuals. But 
I did get, with great content, my account allowed of 
fees, with great applause by my Lord Ashly and Sir W. 
Pen. Thence home, calling at one or two places; and 
there about our workmen, who are at work upon my 
wife’s closet, and other parts of my house, that we are all 
in dirt. 

29th. Mr. Wren first tells us of the order from the King, 
come last night to the Duke of York, for signifying his 
pleasure to the Solicitor-General for drawing up a Com- 
mission for suspending of my Lord Anglesey,” and putting 
in Sir Thomas Littleton and Sir Thomas Osborne,’ the 


Now generally called pentagraph. It is a very useful instrument, 
by means of which persons having no skill in drawing may copy de- 
signs, prints, &c., in any proportion. 

?See, in Memoirs relating to the Navy, 8vo, 1729, two warrants of 
18th Oct., 1668, and 20th Oct., 1668, addressed by the Duke of York 
to Sir Heneage Finch, the Solicitor-General. The former directs him 
to prepare a warrant for his suspension, and the second to prepare a 
Bill for the royal signature, constituting and appointing Sir Thomas 
Osborne and Sir Thomas Lyttelton to the office of Treasurer of the 
Navy, hitherto filled by Lord Anglesey.

1672, and the following year constituted Lord High Treasurer, and 
elected K.G. in 1677. He was created Baron Osborne, of Kiveton, 
and Viscount Latimer, of Danby, 1673; Earl of Danby, 1674; Vis-

former a creature of Arlington’s, and the latter of the Duke © 


of Buckingham’s, during the suspension. ‘The Duke of York 
was forced to obey, and did grant it, he being to go to 
Newmarket this day with the King, and so the King pressed 
for it. But Mr. Wren do own that the Duke of York is 
the most wounded in this, in the world, for it is done and 
concluded without his privity, after his appearing for Lord 
Anglesey, and that it is plain that they do ayme to bring 
the Admiralty into Commission too, and lessen the Duke of 
York. This do put strange apprehensions into all our 
Board; only I think I am the least troubled at it, for I care 


not at all for it: but my Lord Brouncker and Pen do seem 


to think much of it. 

30th. Up betimes; and Mr. Povy comes to even accounts 
with me, which we did, and then fell to other talk. He 
tells me, in short, how the King is made a child of, by 
Buckingham and Arlington, to the lessening of the Duke 
of York, whom they cannot suffer to be great, for fear of 
my Lord Chancellor’s return, which, therefore, they make 
the King violent against. That he believes it is impossible 
these two great men can hold together long: or, at least, 
that the ambition of the former is so great, that he will 
endeavour to master all, and bring into play as many 
as he can. That Anglesey will not lose his place easily, 
but will contend in law with whoever comes to execute 
it. That the Duke of York, in all things, but in his 
amours, is led by the nose by his wife. That Sir W. Co- 
ventry is now, by the Duke of York, made friends with 
the Duchess; and that he is often there, and waits on 
her. That he do believe that these present great men will 
break in time, and that Sir W. Coventry will be a great 
man again; for he do labour to have nothing to do in 
matters of the State, and is so usefull to the side that he 
is on, that he will stand, though at present he is quite out 
of play. That my Lady Castlemaine hates the Duke of 
Buckingham. That the Duke of York hath expressed him- 
self very kind to my Lord Sandwich, which I am mighty 
glad of. That we are to expect more changes if these men 
stand. This done, he and I to talk of my coach, and I got 
him to go see it, where he finds most infinite fault with it,

both as to being out of fashion and heavy, with so good 
reason, that I am mightily glad of his having corrected me 
in it; and so I do resolve to have one of his build, and with 
his advice, both in coach and horses, he being the fittest 
man in the world for it. 

$lst. This day my Lord Anglesey was at the Office, and 
do seem to make nothing of this business of his suspension, 
resolving to bring it into the Council, where he seems not 
to doubt to have right, he standing upon his defence and 
patent, and hath put in his caveats to the several Offices: 
so, as soon as the King comes back,* which will be on Tues- 
day next, he will bring it into the Council. This day 
Roger Pepys and his son Talbot, newly come to town, 
come and dined with me, and mighty glad I am to see 
them. 

November Ist. (Lord’s day.) This noon Mr. Povy 
sent his coach for my wife and I to see, which we like 
mightily, and will endeavour to have him get us just such 
another. 

2d. Up, and a cold morning, by water through bridge 
without a cloak, and there to Mr. Wren at his chamber at 
White Hall, the first time of his coming thither this year, 
the Duchess coming thither to-night. To visit Creed at his 
chamber, but his wife not come thither yet, nor do he tell 
me where she is, though she be in town, at Stepney, at 
Atkins’s.* To Mr. Povy’s about a coach, but there I find 
my Lords Sandwich, Peterborough, and Hinchinbroke, 
Charles Harbord, and Sidney Montagu; and there I was 
stopped, and dined mighty nobly at a good table, with one 
little dish at a time upon it, but mighty merry. I was glad 
to see it: but sorry, methought, to see my Lord have so 
little reason to be merry, and yet glad, for his sake, to have 
him cheerful. After dinner up, and looked up and down 
the house, and so to the cellar; and thence I slipt away, 
without taking leave. This day I went, by Mr. Povy’s 
direction to a coach-maker near him,’ for a coach just like 
his, but it was sold this very morning.

3d. We had a great deal of do this day at the Office 
about Clutterbucke,* I declaring my dissent against the 
whole Board’s proceedings, and I believe I shall go near to 
show W. Pen a very knave in it, whatever I find my Lord 
Brouncker. 

4th. To White Hall; and there I find the King and 
Duke of York came the last night, and every body’s mouth 
full of my Lord Anglesey’s suspension being sealed, which 
it was, it seems, yesterday; so that he is prevented in his 
remedy at the Council; and, it seems, the two new Trea- 
surers’ did kiss the King’s hand this morning, brought in 
by my Lord Arlington. They walked up and down to- 
gether in the Court this day, and several people joyed 
them; but I avoided it, that I might not be seen to look 
either way. This day also I hear that my Lord Ormond is 
to be declared in Council no more Deputy Governor of 
Ireland, his. commission being expired: and the King is 
prevailed with to take it out of his hands; which people do 
mightily admire, saying that he is the greatest subject of 
any prince in Christendome, and hath more acres of land 
than any, and hath done more for his Prince than ever any 
yet did. But all will not do; he must down, it seems, the 
Duke of Buckingham carrying all before him. But that, 
that troubles me most is, that they begin to talk that the 
Duke of York’s regiment is ordered to be disbanded; and 
more, that undoubtedly his Admiralty will follow: which 
do shake me mightily, and I fear will have ill consequences 
in the nation, for these counsels are very mad. ‘The Duke 
of York do, by all men’s report, carry himself wonderfull 
submissive to the King, in the most humble manner in the 
world; but yet, it seems, nothing must be spared that tends 
to the keeping out the Chancellor; and that is the reason 
of all this. The great discourse now is, that the Parlia- 
ment shall be dissolved and another called, which shall give 
the King the Dean and Chapter lands; and that will put 
him out of debt. And it is said that Buckingham do know- 
ingly meet daily with Wildman and other Commonwealth- 
men; and that when he is with them, he makes the King

believe that he is with his wenches; and something looks 
like the Parliament’s being dissolved, by Harry Brouncker’s 
being now come back, and appearing this day the first time 
at White Hall; but he hath not been yet with the King, 
but is secure that he shall be well received, I hear. God 
bless us, when such men as he shall be restored! But that, 
that pleases me most is, that several do tell me that Pen is 
to be removed; and others, that he hath resigned his place; 
and particularly Spragg tells me for certain that he hath 
resigned it, and is become a partner with Gauden in the 
Victualling: in which I think he hath done a very cunning 
thing: but I am sure I am glad of it; and it will be well 
for the King to have him out of this Office. Sir John 
Talbot’ talks mighty high for my Lord of Ormond: and 
I perceive this family of the Talbots hath been raised by 
my Lord. This evening, my wife and I, talking of our 
being put out of the Office, and my going to live at Dept- 
ford at her brother’s, till I can clear accounts, and rid my 
hands of the town, which will take me a year or more, and 
I do think it will be best for me to do so, in order to our 
living cheap, and out of sight. 

5th. The Duke of York did call me and Mr. Wren; and 
my paper, that I have lately taken pains to draw up, was 
read, and the Duke of York pleased therewith; and we did 
all along conclude upon answers to my mind for the Board, 
and that which, if put in execution, will do the King’s busi- 
ness. But I do now more and more perceive the Duke of 
York’s trouble, and that he do he under great weight of 
mind from the Duke of Buckingham’s carrying things 
against him; and particularly when I advised that he would 
use his interest that a seaman might come into the room of 
Sir W. Pen, who is now declared to be gone from us to that 
of the Victualling, and did show how the Office would now 
be left without one seaman in it, but the Surveyor and the 
Comptroller, who is so old as to be able to do nothing, he 
told me plainly that I knew his mind well enough as to 
seamen, but that it must be as others will. And Wren did 
tell it me as a secret, that when the Duke of York did first 
tell the King about Sir W. Pen’s leaving of the place, and 


*See 17th January, 1667-8, ante,

did move the King that either Captain Cox or Sir Jer. Smith 
might succeed him, the King did tell him that was a matter 
fit to be considered of, and would not agree to either pre- 
sently; and so the Duke of York could not prevail for 
either, nor knows who it shall be. The Duke did tell me 
himself, that if he had not carried it privately when first he 
mentioned Pen’s leaving his place to the King, it had not been 
done ; for the Duke of Buckingham and those of his party do 
cry out upon it, as a strange thing to trust such a thing 
into the hands of one that stands accused in Parliament; 
and that they have so far prevailed upon the King that he 
would not have him named in the Council, but only take 
his name to the Board; but I think he said that only D. 
Gauden’s name shall go in the patent; at least, at the time 
when Sir Richard Browne’ asked the King the names of 
D. Gauden’s security, the King told him it was not yet 
necessary for him to declare them. And by and by, when 
the Duke of York and we had done, Wren brought into 
the closet Captain Cox and James Temple about business 
of the Guiney Company; and talking something of the 
Duke of Buckingham’s concernment therein, says the Duke 
of York, “I shall give the Devil his due, as they say the 
Duke of Buckingham hath paid in his money to the Com- 
pany,” or something of that kind, wherein he would do 
right to him. The Duke of York told me how these people 
do begin to cast dirt upon the business that passed the 
Council lately, touching Supernumeraries, as passed by 
virtue of his authority there, there being not likerty for 
any man to withstand what the Duke of York advises 
there; which, he told me, they bring only as an argument 
to insinuate the putting of the Admiralty into Commission, 
which by all men’s discourse is now designed, and I per- 
ceive the same by him. This being done, and going from 
him, I up and down the house to hear news: and there 
every body’s mouth full of changes; and, among others, the 
Duke of York’s regiment of Guards, that was raised during 
the late war at sea, is to be disbanded: and also, that this day 
the King do intend to declare that the Duke of Ormond is 
no more Deputy of Ireland, but that he will put it into

Commission. This day our new Treasurers did kiss the 
King’s hand, who complimented them, as they say, very 
highly,—that he had for a long time been abused in his 
Treasurer, and that he was now safe in their hands. I saw 
them walk up and down the Court together all this morn- 
ing; the first time I ever saw Osborne, who is a comely 
gentleman. This day I was told that my Lord Anglesey 
did deliver a petition on Wednesday in Council to the King, 
laying open, that whereas he had heard that his Majesty 
had made such a disposal of his place, which he had 
formerly granted him for life upon a valuable consider- 
ation, and that, without anything laid to his charge, and 
during a Parliament’s sessions, he prayed that his Majesty 
would be pleased to let his case be heard before the Council 
and the Judges of the land, who were his proper counsel 
in all matters of right: to which, I am told, the King, after 
my Lord’s being withdrawn, concluded upon his giving him 
an answer some few days hence; and so he was called in, 
and told so. At the Treasurer’s, Sir Thomas Clifford, where 
I did eat some oysters; which while we were at, in comes 
my Lord Keeper* and much company; and so I thought it 
best to withdraw. And so away, and to the Swedes Agent’s,” 
and there met Mr. Povy; where the Agent would have me 
stay and dine, there being only them, and Joseph William- 
son, and Sir Thomas Clayton ;* but what he is I know not. 
Here much extraordinary noble discourse of foreign princes, 
and particularly the greatness of the King of France, and 
of his being fallen into the right way of making the king- 
dom great. I was mightily pleased with this company and 
their discourse. With Mr. Povy spent all the afternoon 
going, up and down among the coachmakers in Cow Lane, 
and did see several, and at last did pitch upon a little 
chariott, whose body was framed, but not covered, at the 
widow’s, that made Mr. Lowther’s fine coach; and we are 
mightily pleased with it, it being light, and will be very

genteel and sober: to be covered with leather, but yet will 
hold four. Being much satisfied with this, I carried him to 
White Hall. Home, where I give my wife a good account 
of my day’s work. 

6th. To see Roger Pepys at his lodgings, next door to 
Arundell House, a barber’s; and there I did see a book, 
which my Lord Sandwich hath promised one to me of, “ A 
Description of the Escuriall in Spain;”* which I have a 
great desire to have, though I took it for a finer book when 
he promised it me. 

7th. This afternoon I did go out towards Sir D. Gauden’s, 
thinking to have bespoke a place for my coach and horses, 
when I have them, at the Victualling Office; but find the 
way so bad and long that I returned, and looked up and 
down for places elsewhere, in an inne, which I hope to Ni 
with more convenience than there. 

8th. (Lord’s day.) Up, and at my chamber all the morn- 
ing, setting my papers to rights, with my boy; and so to 
dinner at noon. 

9th. The Duke of York told me that Sir W. Pen had 
been with him this morning, to ask whether it would be fit 
for him to sit at the Office now, because of his resolution 
to be gone, and to become concerned in the Victualling. 
The Duke of York answered, “ Yes, till his contract was 
signed.”” Thence I to Lord Sandwich’s, and there to see 
him; but was made to stay very long, as his best friends 


1The book alluded to by Pepys is that of the Father Francisco de 
los Santos, first printed at Madrid, in 1657, and entitled Descripcion 
breve del Monasterio de 8. Lorenzo el Real del Escorial unica maravilla 
del mundo. It is in folio, and has some plates; but Pepys might well 
express his disappointment for the appearance of the volume does not 
answer to the magnificence of the subject. About the time when Pepys 
wrote, or soon after, the Escurial received some damage by fire, and was 
even said to be totally destroyed; and in that belief, an abstract of 
Father Francisco’s work was published in 1671, purporting to be 
“translated into English by a servant of the Earl of Sandwich.” That 
a great amount of damage was really done, is proved by the title of the 
third edition of the work, printed in Madrid in 1681, which says that 
the Escurial was rebuilt, after the fire, by Charles II.; and Santos, 


then alive, asserts the same, in his dedication to that King, comparing 


him to the restorers of Solomon’s Temple.

are, and when I came to him had little pleasure, his head 
being full of his own business, I think. Thence to White 
Hall with him, to a Committee of Tangier; a day appointed 
for him to give an account of Tangier, and what he did, and 
found there, which, though he had admirable matter for it, 
and his doings there were good, and would have afforded a 
noble account, yet he did it with a mind so low and mean, 
and delivered in so poor a manner, that it appeared nothing 
at all, nor any body seemed to value it; whereas, he might 
have shown himself to have merited extraordinary thanks, 
and been held to have done a very great service: whereas 
now, all that cost the King hath been at for his journey 
through Spain thither, seems to be almost lost. After we 
were up, Creed and I walked together, and did talk a good 
while of the weak Report my Lord made, and were troubled 
for it; I fearing that either his mind and judgment are de- 
pressed, or that he do it out of his great neglect, and so 
that he do all the rest of his affairs accordingly. I staid 
about the Court a little while, and then to look for a dinner, 
and had it at Hercules-Pillars, very late, all alone, costing 
me 10d. 

11th. To the Office, where by a speciall desire, the new 
Treasurers came, and there did show their Patent, and the 
Great seal for the suspension of my Lord Anglesey: and 
here did sit and discourse of the business of the Office: and 
brought Mr. Hutchinson with them, who, I hear, is to be 
their Paymaster, in the room of Mr. Waith. For it seems 
they do turn out every servant that belongs to the present 
Treasurer: and so for Fenn, do bring in Mr. Littleton, 
Sir Thomas’s brother, and oust all the rest. But Mr. 
Hutchinson do already see that his work now will be another 
kind of thing than before, as to the trouble of it. They 
gone, and, indeed, they appear, both of them, very intelligent 
men, I home to dinner. Then by coach to my cozen Roger 
Pepys, who did, at my last being with him this day se’nnight, 
move me as to the supplying him with 500/. this term, and 
500/. the next, for two years, upon a mortgage, he having that 
sum to pay, a debt left him by his father, which I did agree 
to, trusting to his honesty and ability, and am resolved to 
do it for him, that I may not have all I have, lie in the King’s 
hands.

12th. With Mr. Gibson late at my chamber, making an 
end of my draught of a letter for the Duke of York, in 
answer to the answers of this Office, which I have now done 
to my mind, so as, if the Duke likes it, will, I think, put an 
end to a great deal of the faults of this Office, as well as my 
trouble for them. So to bed. 

13th. Up, and with Sir W. Pen by coach to White Hall, 
where to the Duke of York, and there did our usual business ; 
and thence I to the Commissioners of the Treasury, where I 
staid, and heard an excellent case argued between my Lord 
Gerard and the Town of Newcastle, about a piece of ground 
which that Lord hath got a grant of, under the Exchequer 
Seal, which they were endeavouring to get of the King, 
under the Great Seal. I liked mightily the Council for the 
town, Shafto,’ their recorder, and Mr. Offly.* But I was 
troubled, and so were the Lords,*® to hear my Lord fly out 
against their* great pretence of merit from the King, for 
their sufferings and loyalty; telling them that they might 
thank him for that repute which they have for their loyalty, 
for that it was he that forced them to be so, against their 
wills, when he was there: and moreover, did offer a paper 
to the Lords to read from the Town, sent in 1648; but 
the Lords would not read it; but I believe it was some- 
thing about bringing the King to trial, or some such 
thing, in that year. Thence I to the Three Tuns Tavern, 
by Charing Cross, and there dined with W. Pen, Sir 
J. Minnes, and Commissioner Middleton; and as merry 
as my mind could be, that hath so much trouble upon 
it. And thence to White Hall, and there staid in Mr. 
Wren’s chamber with him, reading over my draught of 
a letter, which Mr. Gibson then attended me with; and 
there he did like all, but doubted whether it would be 
necessary for the Duke to write in so sharp a style to the 
Office, as I had drawn it in; which I yield to him, to con-

sider the present posture of the times and the Duke of 
York, and whether it were not better to err on that hand 
than the other. He told me that he did not think it was 
necessary for the Duke of York to do so, and that it would 
not suit so well with his nature nor greatness; which last, 
perhaps, is true, but then do too truly show the effects of 
having Princes in places, where order and discipline should 
be. I left it to him to do as the Duke of York pleases; 
and so fell to other talk, and with great freedom, of public 
things: and he told me, upon my several enquiries to that 
purpose, that he did believe it was not yet resolved whether 
the Parliament should ever meet more or no, the three great 
rulers of things now standing thus:—the Duke of Bucking- 
ham is absolutely against their meeting, as moved thereto 
by his people that he advises with, the people of the late 
times, who do never expect to have any thing done by this 
Parliament for their religion, and who do propose that, by 
the sale of the Church-lands, they shall be able to put the 
King out of debt; my Lord Keeper is utterly against putting 
away this and choosing another Parliament, lest they prove 
worse than this, and will make all the King’s friends, and 
the King himself, in a desperate condition: my Lord Arling- 
ton knows not which is best for him, being to seek whether 
this or the next will use him worst. He tells me that he 
believes that it is intended to call this Parliament, and try 
them for a sum of money; and, if they do not like it, then 
to send them going, and call another, who will, at the ruin 
of the Church perhaps, please the King with what he will 
have for a time. And he tells me, therefore, that he do 
believe that this policy will be endeavoured by the Church 
and their friends—to seem to promise the King money 
when it shall be propounded, but make the King and these 
great men buy it dear, before they have it. He tells me 
that he is really persuaded that the design of the Duke of 
Buckingham is, by bringing the state into such a condition 
as, if the King do die without issue, it shall, upon his death, 
break into pieces again; and so put by the Duke of York, 
whom they have disobliged, they know, to that degree, as 
to despair of his pardon. He tells me that there is no way 
to rule the King but by briskenesse, which the Duke of 
E2 


52 DIARY OF [16th Nov. 


Buckingham hath above all men; and that the Duke of 
York having it not, his best way is what he practices, that 
“is to say, a good temper, which will support him till the 
Duke of Buckingham and Lord Arlington fall out, which 
cannot be long first, the former knowing that the latter did, 
in the time of the Chancellor, endeavour with the Chancellor 
to hang him at that time, when he was proclaimed against. 
And here, by the by, he told me that the Duke of Bucking- 
ham did, by his friends, treat with my Lord Chancellor, by 
the mediation of Matt. Wren and Clifford, to fall in with 
my Lord Chancellor; which, he tells me, he did advise my 
Lord Chancellor to accept of, as that, that with his own 


interest and the Duke of York’s, would undoubtedly have: 


secured all to him and his family; but that my Lord Chan- 
cellor was a man not to be advised, thinking himself too high 
to be counselled: and so all is come to nothing; for by that 
means the Duke of Buckingham became desperate, and was 
forced to fall in with Arlington, to the Chancellor’s ruin. 
This morning, at the Treasury-chamber, I did meet Jack 
Fenn, and there he did show me my Lord Anglesey’s petition 
and the King’s answer: the former good and stout, as I 
before did hear it: but the latter short and weak, saying 
that he was not, by what the King had done, hindered from 
taking the benefit of the law, and that the reason he had to 
suspect his mismanagement of his money in Ireland, did 
make him think it unfit to trust him with his Treasury in 
England, till he was satisfied in the former. 

14th. At the Office all the morning, and merry at noon, 
at dinner; and after dinner to the Office, where all the 
afternoon, doing much business, late. 

15th. (Lord’s day.) After dinner, W. Howe to tell me 
what hath happened between him and the Commissioners of 
late, who are hot again, more than ever, about my Lord 
Sandwich’s business of prizes, which I am troubled for, and 
the more, because of the great security and neglect with 
which, I think, my Lord do look upon this matter, that may 
yet, for aught I know, undo him. 

16th. I did call at Martin’s, my bookseller’s, and there 
bought “ Cassandra,” and some other French books for my

wife’s closet, and so home, having eat nothing but two 
pennyworths of oysters, opened for me by a woman in the 
street. 

17th. To the Office all the morning, where the new Trea- 
surers come, their second time, and before they sat down, 
did discourse with the Board, and particularly my Lord 
Brouncker, about their place, which they challenge, as 
having been heretofore due, and given to their predecessor ; 
which, at last, my Lord did own hath been given him only 
out of courtesy to his quality, and that he did not take it 
as a right at the Board: so they, for the present, sat down, 
and did give him the place, but, I think, with an intent 
to have the Duke of York’s directions about it. My 
wife and others busy now, to make clean the house above 
stairs, the upholsterers having done there, in her closet and 
the blue room, and they are mighty pretty. 

19th. This night the upholsterers did finish the hanging of 
my best chamber. 

20th. To meet Roger Pepys, which I did, and did there 
discourse of the business of lending him 5001. to answer 
some occasions of his, which I believe to be safe enough, 
and away by coach home, calling on my coachmaker by the 
way, where I like my little coach mightily. This evening 
comes Mr. Billup to me, to read over Mr. Wren’s alterations 
of my draught of a letter for the Duke of York to sign, 
to the Board; which I like mighty well, they being not 
considerable, only in mollifying some hard terms, which I 
had thought fit to put in. From this to other discourse; 
and do find that the Duke of York and his master, Mr. 
Wren, do look upon this service of mine as a very season- 
able service to the Duke, as that which he will have to 
show to his enemies in his own justification, of his care 
of the King’s business; and I am sure I am heartily glad 
of it, both for the King’s sake and the Duke of York’s, and 
my own also; for, if I continue here, my work by this means 
will be the less, and my share in the blame also.

abroad with W. Hewer to my Lord Ashly’s, where my Lord 
Barkeley and Sir Thomas Ingram* met upon Mr. Povy’s 
account, where I was in great pain about that part of his 
account wherein I am concerned, above 150l., I think; and 
Creed hath declared himself dissatisfied with it, so far as to 
desire to cut his “ Examinatur” out of the paper, as the 
only condition in which he would be silent in it. This Povy 
had the wit to yield to; and so when it come to be inquired 
into, I did avouch the truth of the account as to that parti- 
cular, of my own knowledge, and so it went over as a thing 
good and just—as, indeed, in the bottom of it, it is; though 
in strictness, perhaps, it would not so well be understood. 
The Committee rising, I, with my mind much satisfied 
therein, away by coach home, setting Creed in Southampton 
Buildings, and so home; and there ended my letters, and 
then home to my wife, where I find my house clean now, 
from top to bottom, so as I have not seen it many a day, 
and to the full satisfaction of my mind, that I am now at 
peace, as to my poor wife, as to the dirtiness of my house, 
and as to seeing an end, in a great measure, to my present 
great disbursements upon my house, and coach and horses. 

22d. (Lord’s day.) My wife and I lay long, with mighty 
content; and so rose, and she spent the whole day making 
herself clean, after four or five weeks being in continued dirt; — 
and I knocking up nails, and making little settlements in 
my house, till noon, and then eat a bit of meat in the 
kitchen, I all alone. And so to the Office, to set down my 
journal, for some days, leaving it imperfect, the matter being 
mighty grievous to me, and my mind, from the nature of it; 
and so in, to solace myself with my wife, whom I got to 
read to me, and so W. Hewer and the boy; and so, after 
supper, to bed. This day my boy’s livery is come home, the 
first I ever had, of greene, lined with red; and it likes me 
well enough. 

23d. Up, and called upon by W. Howe, who went, with 
W. Hewer and me, by water, to the Temple; his business - 
was to have my advice about a place he is going to buy—the 
Clerk of the Patent’s place, which I understand not, and so 
could say little to him. To visit my Lord Sandwich, who is

1668] SAMUEL PEPYS 55 


now so reserved, or moped rather, I think, with his own 
business, that he bids welcome to no man, I think, to his 
satisfaction. I bear with it, being willing to give him as 
little trouble as I can, and to receive as little from him, 
wishing only that I had my money in my purse, that I have 
lent him; but, however, I shew no discontent at all. I met 
with Mr. Povy, who tells me that this discourse which I 
told him of, of the Duke of Monmouth being made Prince 
of Wales, hath nothing in it; though he thinks there are 
all the endeavours used in the world to overthrow the Duke 
of York. He would not have me doubt of my safety in the 
Navy, which I am doubtful of from the reports of a general 
removal; but he will endeavour to inform me, what he can 
gather from my Lord Arlington. That he do think that the 
Duke of Buckingham hath a mind rather to overthrow all 
the kingdom, and bring in a Commonwealth, wherein he 
may think to be General of their Army, or, to make himself 
King, which, he believes, he may be led to, by some advice 
which he hath had with conjurors, which he do affect. I 
took my wife and boy to Hercules Pillars, and there dined, 
and thence to our upholsterer’s, about some things more to 
buy, and so to see our coach, and so to the looking-glass 
man’s, by the New Exchange, and so to buy a picture for 
our blue chamber chimney, and so home; and there I made 
my boy read to me most of the night, to get through the 
“Life of the Archbishop of Canterbury.”* At supper 
comes Mary Batelier, and with us all the evening, prettily 
talking, and very innocent company she is; and she gone, 
we with much content to bed, and to sleep, with mighty rest 
all night. 

24th. Up, and at the Office all the morning, and at noon 
home to dinner, where Mr. Gentleman, the cook, and an old 
woman, his third or fourth wife, come and dined with us, 
to enquire about a ticket of his son’s, that is dead; and 
after dinner, I with Mr. Hosier to my closet, to discourse of 
_ the business of balancing Storekeeper’s accounts, which he 
hath taken great pains in reducing to a method, to my great 
satisfaction; and I-shall be glad for both the King’s sake 
and his, that the thing may be put in practice, and will do

my part to promote it. That done, he gone, I to the Office, 
where busy till night; and then with comfort to sit with 
my wife, and get her to read to me, and so to supper, and 
to bed, with my mind at mighty ease. 

25th. By coach to see Sir W. Coventry; but he gone out, 
I to White Hall, and there waited on Lord Sandwich, which 
I have little encouragement to do, because of the difficulty 
of seeing him, and the little he hath to say to me when I 
do see him, or to any body else, but his own idle people 
about him, Sir Charles Harbord, &c. Thence walked with 
him to White Hall, where to the Duke of York; and there 
the Duke, and Wren, and I, by appointment in his closet, 
to read over our letter to the Office, which he heard, and 
signed it, and it is to my mind, Mr. Wren having made it 
somewhat sweeter to the Board, and yet with all the advice 
fully, that I did draw it up with. The Duke said little 
more to us now, his head being full of other business; but 
I do see that he do continue to put a value upon my advice; 
and so Mr. Wren and I to his chamber, and there talked: 
and he seems to hope that these people, the Duke of Buck- 
ingham and Arlington, will run themselves off their legs; 
they being forced to be always putting the King upon one 
idle thing or another, against the easiness of his nature, 
which he will never be able to bear, nor they to keep him 
to, and so will lose themselves. And, for instance of their 
little progress, he tells me that my Lord of Ormond is like 
yet to carry it, and to continue in his command in Ireland; 
at least, they cannot get the better of him yet. But he 
tells me that the Keeper’ is wrought upon, as they say, to 
give his opinion for the dissolving of the Parliament, which, 
he thinks, will undo him in the eyes of the people. He do 
not seem to own the hearing or fearing of any thing to be 
done in the Admiralty, to the lessening of the Duke of 
York, though he hears how the town-talk is full of it. Thence 
I by coach home, and there find my cozen Roger come to 
dine with me, and to seal his mortgage for the 500/. I lend 
him; but he and I first walked to the "Change, there to 
look for my uncle Wight, and get him to dmner with us. 
So home, buying a barrel of oysters at my old oyster-

woman’s, in Gracious Street, but over the way to where she 
kept her shop before. Merry at dinner; and the money 
not being ready, I carried Roger Pepys to Holborn Conduit,* 
and there left him going to Stradwick’s,? whom we avoided 
to see, because of our long absence, and my wife and I to 
the Duke of York’s house, to see “ The Duchesse of Malfy,” 
a sorry play, and sat with little pleasure. This evening, to 
my great content, I got Sir Richard Ford to give me leave 
to set my coach in his yard. 

26th. At the Office all the morning, where I was to have 
delivered the Duke of York’s letter of advice to the Board, 
in answer to our several answers to his great letter; but 
Lord Brouncker not being there, and doubtful to deliver it 
before the new Treasurer, I forbore it till the next sitting. 
So home at noon to dinner, where I find Mr. Pierce and his 
wife: but I was forced to shew very little pleasure in her 
being there because of my vow to my wife; and, there- 
fore, was glad of a very bad occasion for my being really 
troubled, which is, at W. Hewer’s losing of a tally of 10001., 
which I sent him this day to receive of the Commissioners 
of Excise. 

27th. Up; and with W. Hewer to see Sir W. Coventry, 
but missed him again, by coming too late, the man of all the 
world that I am resolved to preserve an interest in. Thence 
to White Hall, and there at our usual waiting on the Duke 
of York; and that being done, I away to the Exchequer, to 
give a stop, and take some advice about my lost tally, 
wherein I shall have some remedy, with trouble. Comes 
Mr. Povy, by appointment, to dine with me; and much 
pleasant discourse with him, and some serious; and he 
tells me that he would, by all means, have me get to be a 
Parliament-man, the next Parliament. By and by comes 
my cozen Roger, and dines with us; and, after dinner, did 
seal his mortgage, wherein I do wholly rely on his honesty,

not having so much as read over what he hath given me for 
it, nor minded it, but do trust to his integrity therein. 

28th. All the morning at the Office, where, while I was 
sitting, one comes and tells me that my coach is come. So 
I was forced to go out, and to Sir Richard Ford’s, where I 
spoke to him, and he is very willing to have it brought in, 
and stand there; and so I ordered it, to my great content, 
it being mighty pretty, only the horses do not please me, 
and, therefore, resolve to have better. This day I presented 
to the Board the Duke of York’s letter,’ which, I perceive, 
troubled Sir W. Pen, he declaring himself meant in that 
part that concerned excuse by sickness; but I do not care, 
but am mightily glad that it is done, and now I shall begin 
to be at pretty good ease in the Office. This morning, to 
my great content, W. Hewer tells me that a porter is come, 
who found my tally in Holborn, and brings it him, for which 
he gives him 20s. 

29th. (Lord’s day.) My wife lately frighted me about 
her being a Catholique; and I dare not, therefore, move her 
to go to church, for fear she should deny me; but this 
morning, of her own accord, she spoke of going to church 
the next Sunday, which pleases me mightily. This morn- 
ing my coachman’s clothes come home; and I like the livery 
mightily. All the morning in my chamber, and dined with 
my wife, and got her to read to me in the afternoon, till 
Sir W. Warren, by appointment, comes to me, who spent 
two hours, or three, with me, about his accounts of Gotten- 
burgh,’ which are so confounded, I doubt they will hardly 
ever pass without my doing something, which he desires of 
me, and which, partly from fear, and partly from unwilling- 
ness to wrong the King, and partly from its being of no 
profit to me, I am backward to give way to, though the 
poor man do indeed deserve to be rid of this trouble, that 
he hath lain so long under, from the negligence of this 
Board. He tells me, as soon as he saw my coach yester- 
day, he wished that the owner might not contract envy by 
it;> but I told him it was now manifestly for my profit to

keep a coach, and that, after employments like mine for 
eight years, it were hard if I could not be thought to be 
justly able to do that. To supper; and to read, and made 
an end of the “ Life of Archbishop Laud,” which is worth 
reading, as informing a man plainly in the posture of the 
Church, and how the things of it were managed with the 
same self-interest and design that every other thing is, and 
have succeeded accordingly. 

30th. With W. Hewer to White Hall, to a Committee of 
Tangier, where the business of Mr. Lanyon took up all the 
morning; and, poor man! he did manage his business with 
so much folly, and ill fortune to boot, that the Board, 
before his coming in, inclining, of their own accord, to lay 
his cause aside, and leave it to the law, he pressed that we 
would hear it, and it ended to the making him appear a very 
knaye, as well as it did to me, a fool also, which I was sorry 
for. Thence by water, Mr. Povy, Creed, and I, to Arundell 
House, and there I did see them choosing their Council, it 
being St. Andrew’s day;* and I had his Cross* set on my 
hat, as the rest had, and cost me 2s. My wife, after dinner, 


possessed of a carriage, the acquisition was regarded with envy and 
jealousy by his enemies, as will appear by the following extract from 
the scurrilous Pamphlet noticed in the Zife, in which Pepys and Hewer 
are severely handled. “There is one thing more you must be mightily 
sorry for with all speed. Your presumption in your coach, in which 
you daily ride, as if you had been son and heir to the great Emperor 
Neptune, or as if you had been infallibly to have succeeded him in his 
government of the Ocean, all which was presumption in the highest de- 
gree. First, you had upon the forepart of your chariot, tempestuous 
waves and wrecks of ships; on your left hand, forts and great guns, 
and ships a fighting; on your right hand was a fair harbour and galleys 
riding, with their flags and pennants spread, kindly saluting each other, 
just like P[epys] and H[ewer]. Behind it were high curled waves and 
ships a sinking, and here and there an appearance of some bits of 
land.” 


1The annual meeting of the Royal Society is still held on that 
day. 

2The cross of St. Andrew, like that of St. Patrick, is a saltire. The 
two, mixed in a very strange manner with the cross of St. George, form 
the Union flag. There is a very good paper on the subject, written by 
the late Sir N. H. Nicolas, in Brayley’s Graphic Illustrator, p. 65. 


60 DIARY OF [2d Dec, 


went the first time abroad in her coach, calling on Roger 
Pepys, and visiting Mrs. Creed, and my cozen Turner. Thus 
ended this month, with very good content, but most ex- 
penseful to my purse on things of pleasure, having furnished 
my wife’s closet and the best chamber, and a coach and 
horses, that ever I knew in the world; and I am put into 
the greatest condition of outward state that ever I was in, 
or hoped ever to be, or desired: and this at a time when we 
do daily expect great changes in this Office; and by all re- 
ports we must, all of us, turn out. But my eyes are come 
to that condition that I am not able to work; and there- 
fore that, and my wife’s desire, make me have no manner 
of trouble in my thoughts about it. So God do his will 
in it! 

December Ist. This day I hear of poor Mr. Clerke, the 
solicitor, being dead, of a cold, after being not above two 
days ill, which troubles me mightily, poor man! 

2d. Abroad with W. Hewer, thinking to have found Mr. 
Wren at Captain Cox’s, to have spoke something to him 
about doing a favour for Will’s uncle Steventon, but missed 
him. Abroad with my wife, the first time that ever I rode 
in my own coach, which do make my heart rejoice, and 
praise God, and pray him to bless it to me and continue it. 
So she and I to the King’s playhouse, and there saw “ The 
Usurper;”’ a pretty good play, in all but what is designed 
to resemble Cromwell and Hugh Peters, which is mighty 
silly. The play done, we to White Hall; where my wife 
staid while I up to the Duchess’s and Queen’s side, to speak 
with the Duke of York: and here saw all the ladies, and 
heard the silly discourse of the King, with his people about 
him, telling a story of my Lord Rochester’s haying of his 
clothes stole, while he was with a wench; and his gold all 
gone, but his clothes found afterwards, stuffed in a feather 
bed by the wench that stole them. I spoke with the Duke 


of York, just as he was set down to supper with the. 


King, about our sending of victuals to Sir Thomas Allen’s 
fleet hence to Cales [Cadiz], to meet him. To-day I hear 
that Mr. Ackworth’s cause went for him at Guildhall, 
against his hosiers, which I am well enough pleased 
with. 


1668] SAMUEL PEPYS 61 


$d. Mr. Wren gives me but small hopes of the favour 
I hoped to get for Mr. Steventon, Will’s uncle, of having 
leave, being upon the point of death, to surrender his place, 
which do trouble me, but I will do what I can. To the 
Office, Sir Jer. Smith with me; who is a silly, prating, 
talking man; but he tells me what he hears,—that Holmes 
and Spragg now rule all with the Duke of Buckingham, as 
to sea-business, and will be great men: but he do prophesy 
what will be the fruit of it; so I do. So to the Office, 
where we sat all the morning; and at noon home to 
dinner, and then abroad again, with my wife, to the Duke 
of York’s playhouse, and saw “ The Unfortunate Lovers ;” 
a mean play, I think, but some parts very good, and excel- 
lently acted. We sat under the boxes, and saw the fine 
ladies; among others, my Lady Kerneguy,’ who is most 
devilishly painted. And so home, it being mighty pleasure 
to go alone with my poor wife, in a coach of our own, to a 
play, and makes us appear mighty great, I think, in the 
world; at least, greater than ever I could, or my friends 
for me, have once expected; or, I think, than ever any of 
my family ever yet lived, in my memory, but my cozen 
Pepys in Salisbury Court. 

4th. Did wait as usual upon the Duke of York, where, 
upon discoursing something touching the Ticket-Office, 
which by letter the Board did give the Duke of York their 
advice, to be put upon Lord Brouncker, Sir J. Minnes did 
foolishly rise up and complain of the Office, and his being 
made nothing of; and this before Sir Thomas Littleton, 
who would be glad of this difference among us, which did 
trouble me mightily; and therefore I did forbear to say 
what I otherwise would have thought fit for me to say on 
this occasion, upon so impertinent a speech as this doting 
fool made—but, I say, I let it alone, and contented myself 
that it went as I advised, as to the Duke of York’s judg- 
ment, in the thing disputed. Home, where by invitation I 
find my aunt Wight, who looked over all our house, and is 
mighty pleased with it, and indeed it is now mighty hand- 
some, and rich in furniture. I carried my wife and her to 
Smithfield, where they sit in the coach, while Mr. Picker-

ing, who meets me at Smithfield, and I, and W. Hewer, 
and a friend of his, a jockey, did go about to see several 
pairs of horses, for my coach; but it was late, and we 
agreed on none, but left it to another time: but here I do 
see instances of a piece of craft and cunning that I never 
dreamed of, concerning the buying and choosing of horses. 
So Mr. Pickering, to whom I am much beholden for his 
kindness herein, and I parted; and I with my people home. 
To the Office, where vexed to see how ill all the Comp- 
troller’s business is likely to go on, so long as ever Sir J. 
Minnes lives; and so troubled I was, that I thought it a 
good occasion for me to give my thoughts of it in writing, 
and therefore wrote a letter at the Board, by the help of a 
tube, to Lord Brouncker, and did give it him, which I kept 
a copy of, and it may be of use to me hereafter to show, 
in this matter. This being done, I home to my aunt, who 
supped with us, and my uncle also: and a good-humoured 
woman she is, so that I think we shall keep her acquaint- 
ance; but mighty proud she is of her wedding-ring, being 
lately set with diamonds; cost her about 12/.: and I did 
commend it mightily to her, but do not think it very suit- 
able for one of our quality. 

5th. No news stirring, but that my Lord of Ormond is 
likely to go to Ireland again, which do show that the Duke 
of Buckingham do not rule all so absolutely; and that, 
however, we shall speedily have more changes in the Navy: 
and it is certain that the Nonconformists do now preach 
openly in houses, in many places, and among others the 
house that was heretofore Sir G. Carteret’s, in Leadenhall 
Streete, and have ready access to the King. And now the 
great dispute is, whether this Parliament or another; and 
my great design, if I continue in the Navy, is to get my- 
self to be a Parliament-man. 

6th. (Lord’s day.) Up, and with my wife to church; 
which pleases me mightily, I being full of fear that she 
would never go to church again, after she had declared to 
me that she was a Roman Catholick. But though I do 
verily think she fears God, and is truly and sincerely righte- 
ous, yet I do see she is not so strictly a Catholick as not to 
go to church with me, which pleases me mightily. Here

Mills made a lazy sermon, upon Moses’s meeknesse. With 
my wife and W. Hewer talking over the business of the 
Office, and particularly my own Office, how I will make it, 
and it will become, in a little time, an Office of ease, and 
not slavery, as it hath for so many years been. 

7th. Sir W. Coventry says that he hath no more mind to 
be found meddling with the Navy, lest it should do it hurt, 
as well as him. So to talk of general things: and telling 
him that, with all these doings, he, I thanked God, stood 
yet; he told me, Yes, but that he thought his continuing 
in, did arise from his enemies my Lord of Buckingham and 
Arlington’s seeing that he cared so little if he was out; and 
he do protest to me that he is as weary of the Treasury, as 
ever he was of the Navy. He tells me that he do believe 
that their heat is over almost, as to the Navy, there being 
now none left of the old stock but my Lord Brouncker, 
J. Minnes, who is ready to leave the world, and myself. But 
he tells me that he do foresee very great wants and great dis- 
orders by reason thereof; insomuch, as he is represented to 
the King by his enemies as a melancholy man, and one that 
is still prophesying ill events, so as the King called him 
Visionaire, which being told him, he said he answered the 
party, that, whatever he foresaw, he was not afraid as to 
himself of any thing, nor particularly of my Lord Arling- 
ton, so much as the Duke of Buckingham hath been, nor 
of the Duke of Buckingham, so much as my Lord Arling- 
ton at this time is. But he tells me that he hath been 
always looked upon as a melancholy man; whereas, others 
that would please the King do make him believe that all is 
safe; and so he hath heard my Lord Chancellor openly say 
to the King, that he was now a glorious prince, and in a 
glorious condition, because of some one accident that hath 
happened, or some one rut that hath been removed; “‘ when,” 
says Sir W. Coventry, “ they reckoned their one good meal, 
without considering that there was nothing left in the cup- 
board for to-morrow.” After this discourse, to my Lord 
Sandwich’s, and took a quarter of an hour’s walk in the 
garden with him, which I have not done for so much time 
with him since his coming into England; and talking of his 
own condition, and particularly of the world’s talk of his

going to Tangier. I find, if his conditions can be made 
profitable and safe as to money, he would go, but not else; 
but, however, will seem not averse to it, because of facilitat- 
ing his other accounts now depending, which he finds hard 
to get through, but yet hath some hopes, the King, he says, 
speaking very kindly to him. 

8th. Up, and Sir H. Cholmly betimes with me, about 
some accounts and monies due to him; and he gone, I to 
the Office, where sat all the morning; and here, among 
other things, breaks out the storm W. Hewer and I have 
long expected from the Surveyor,’ about W,. Hewer’s con- 
spiring to get a contract, to the burdening of the stores 
with kerseys and cottons, of which he hath often complained, 
and lately more than eyer; and now he did by a most 
scandalous letter to the Board, reflecting on my Office: and, 
by discourse, it fell to such high words between him and 
me, as can hardly ever be forgot; I declaring I would be- 
lieve W. Hewer as soon as him, and laying the fault, if there 
be any, upon himself; he, on the other hand, vilifying of 
my word and W. Hewer’s, calling him knave, and that if he 
were his clerk, he should lose his ears. At last, I closed 
the business for this morning with making the thing ridicu- 
lous, as it is, and he swearing that the King should have 
right in it, or he would lose his place. The Office was 
cleared of all but ourselves and W. Hewer; but, however, 
the world did by the beginning see what it meant, and it 
will, I believe, come to high terms between us, which I am 
sorry for, to have any blemish laid upon me or mine, at this 
time, though never so unjustly, for fear of giving oceasion 
to my real discredit: and therefore I was not only all the 
rest of the morning vexed, but so went home to dinner, 
where my wife tells me of my Lord Orrery’s new play 
“'Tryphon,’”” at the Duke of York’s house, which, how- 
ever, I would see, and therefore put a bit of meat in our 
mouths, and went thither, where, with much ado, at half- 
past one, we got into a blind hole in the 18d. place, above 
stairs, where we could not hear well. The house infinite

1668] SAMUEL PEPYS 


full, but the prologue most silly, and the play, though ad- 
mirable, yet no pleasure almost in it, because just the very 
same design, and words, and sense, and plot, as every one of 
his plays have, any one of which alone would be held ad- 
mitable, whereas so many of the same design and fancy do 
but dull one another; and this, I perceive, is the sense of 
every body else, as well as myself, who therefore showed 
but little pleasure in it. So home, mighty hot, and my 
mind mightily out of order, so as I could not eat my supper, 
or sleep almost all night, though I spent till twelve at night 
with W. Hewer to consider of our business: and we find it 
not only most free from any blame of our side, but so horrid 
scandalous on the other, to make so groundless a complaint, 
and one so shameful to him, that it could not but let me 
see that there is no need of my being troubled; but such 
is the weakness of my nature, that I could not help it, 
which vexes me, showing me how unable I am to live with 
difficulties. 

9th. To the Office, but did little there, my mind being 
still uneasy, though more and more satisfied that there is no 
eccasion for it; but abroad with my wife to the Temple, 
where I met with Auditor Wood’s clerk, and did some busi- 
ness with him, and so to see Mr. Spong, and found him out 
by Southampton Market,’ and there carried my wife, and 
up to his chamber, a bye place, but with a good prospect of 
the fields; and there I had most infinite pleasure, not only 
with his ingenuity in general, but in particular with his 
shewing me the use of the Parallelogram, by which he drew 
in a quarter of an hour before me, in little, from a great, a 
most-neat map of England—that is, all the outlines, which 
gives me infinite pleasure, and foresight of pleasure, I shall 
have with it; and therefore desire to have that which I have 
bespoke, made. Many other pretty things he showed us, 
and did give me a glass bubble,’ to try the strength of liquors 
with. This done, and having spent 6d. in ale in the coach, 
at the door of the Bull Inn, with the mnocent master of 


‘Better known as Bloomsbury Market; but since (1851-53) swal- 
lowed up in the New Oxford Street improvements.

the house, a Yorkshireman, for his letting us go through his 
house, we away to Hercules Pillars, and there eat a bit of 
meat: and so, with all speed, back to the Duke of York’s 
house, where mighty full again; but we come time enough 
to have a good place in the pit, and did hear this new play 
again, where, though I better understood it than before, 
yet my sense of it and pleasure was just the same as yester- 
. day, and no more, nor any body else’s about us.. So took 
our coach home, having now little pleasure to look about 
me to see the fine faces, for fear of displeasmg my wife, 
whom I take great comfort now, more than ever, in pleas- 
ing; and it is a real joy to me. So home, and to my Office, 
where spent an hour or two; and so home to my wife, to 
supper and talk, and so to bed. 

10th. Up, and to the Office, where busy all the morning: 
Middleton not there, so no words or looks of him. At noon, 
home to dinner; and so to the Office, and there all the 
afternoon busy; and at night W. Hewer home with me; 
and we think we have got matter enough to make Middleton 
appear a coxcomb. But it troubled me to have Sir W. 
Warren meet me at night, going out of the Office home, 
and tell me that Middleton do intend to complain to the 
Duke of York: but, upon consideration of the business, I 
did go to bed, satisfied that it was best for me that he 
should; and so my trouble was over, and to bed, and slept 
well. 

llth. Up, and with W. Hewer by water to Somerset 
House; and there I to my Lord Brouncker, before he went 
forth to the Duke of York, and there told him my confidence 
that I should make Middleton appear a fool, and that it 
was, I thought, best for me to complain of the wrong he 
hath done; but brought it about, that my Lord desired me 
I would forbear, and promised that. he would prevent 
Middleton till I had given in my answer to the Board, 
which I desired: and so away to White Hall, and there 
did our usual attendance: and no word spoke before the 
Duke of York by Middleton at all; at which I was glad to 
my heart, because by this means I have time to draw up 
my answer to my mind. With W. Hewer by coach to 
Smithfield, but met not Mr. Pickering, he being not come,

and so Will and I to a cook’s shop, in Aldersgate Street ; 
and dined well for 1s. 03d., upon roast beef; and so, having 
dined, we back to Smithfield and there met Pickering, and 
up and down all the afternoon about horses, and did see 
the knaveries and tricks of jockeys. Here I met W. Joyce, 
who troubled me with his impertinencies a great while, and 
the like Mr. Knipp, who, it seems, is a kind of a jockey, and 
would fain have been doing something for me, but I avoided 
him, and the more for fear of being troubled thereby with 
his wife, whom I dare not see, for my vow to my wife. At 
last, concluded upon giving 501. for a fine pair of black 
horses we saw this day se’nnight; and so set Mr. Pickering 
down near his house, whom I am much beholden to, for 
his care herein, and he hath admirable skill, I perceive, in 
this business, and so home. 

12th. I hear this day that there is fallen down a new 
house, not quite finished, in Lumberd Street, and that there 
have been several so, they making use of bad mortar and 
bricks; but no hurt yet, as God hath ordered it. This day 
was brought home my pair of black coach-horses, the first 
I ever was master of, a fine pair! 

14th. To a Committee of Tangier, where, among other 
things, a silly account of a falling out between Norwood,* 
at Tangier, and Mr. Bland, the mayor, who is fled to Cales 
[Cadiz]. His complaint is ill-worded, and the other’s 
defence the most ridiculous that ever I saw; and so every- 
body else that was there, thought it; but never did I see so 
great an instance of the use of grammar, and knowledge 
how to tell a man’s tale as this day, Bland having spoiled 
his business by ill-telling it, who had work to have made 
himself notorious by his mastering Norwood, his enemy, 
if he had known how to have used it. To dinner by a 
hackney, my coachman being this day about breaking of my 
horses to the coach, they having never yet drawn. This 
day, I hear, and am glad, that the King hath prorogued the 
Parliament to October next; and, among other reasons, it 
will give me time to go to France, I hope. 

15th. Up, and to the Office. where sat all the morning, 


*Colonel Norwood, the Deputy Governor: see 2Ist April, 1660.

and the new Treasurers there; and, for my life, I cannot 
keep Sir J. Minnes and others of the Board from showing 
our weakness, to the dishonour of the Board, though I am 
not concerned: but it do vex me to the heart to have it 
before these people, that would be glad to find out all our 
weaknesses. 

18th. To Lord Brouncker, and got him to read over my 
paper, who owns most absolute content in it, and the advan- 
tage I have in it, and the folly of the Surveyor. At noon 
home to dinner; and then to Brook House, and there spoke 
with Colonel Thomson, I by order carrying the Commis- 
sioners of Accounts our Contract-books, from the beginning 
to the end of the late war. I found him finding of errors in 
a ship’s book, where he showed me many, which must end 
in the ruin, I doubt, of the Comptroller, who found them not 
out in the pay of the ship, or the whole Office. To the Office, 
and after some other business done, we fell to mine. The 
Surveyor began to be a little brisk at the beginning; but 
when I came to the point to touch him, which I had all the 
advantages in the world to do, he became as calm as a lamb, 
and owned, as the whole Board did, their satisfaction, and 
cried excuse: and so all made friends; and their acknow- 
ledgment put into writing, and delivered into Sir J. Minnes’s 
hand, to be kept there for the use of the Board, or me, 
when I shall call for it; they desiring it might be so, that I 
might not make use of it to the prejudice of the Surveyor, 
whom I had an advantage over, by his extraordinary folly 
in this matter. So Middleton desiring to be friends, I 
forgave him; and all mighty quiet, and fell to talk of other 
stories, and there staid, all of us, till nine or ten at night, 
more than ever we did in cur lives before, together. 

19th. My wife and I by hackney to the King’s playhouse, 
and there, the pit being full, sat in the box above, and saw 
** Catiline’s Conspiracy,” yesterday being the first day: 
a play of much good sense and words to read, but that do 
appear the worst upon the stage, I mean, the least diverting, 
that ever I saw any, though most fine in clothes; and a fine 
scene of the Senate, and of a fight, as ever I saw in my life.

We sat next to Betty Hall,’ that did belong to this house, 
and was Sir Philip Howard’s Mistress; a mighty pretty 
wench, though my wife will not think so; and I dare neither 
commend, nor be seen to look upon her, or any other, for 
fear of offending her. So, our own coach coming for us, home, 
and to end letters, and my wife to read to me out of “ The 
Siege of Rhodes,” and so to supper, and to bed. 

20th. (Lord’s day.) The Duke of York in good humour 
did fall to tell us many fine stories of the wars in Flanders, 
and how the Spaniards are the best disciplined foot in the 
world; will refuse no extraordinary service if commanded, 
but scorn to be paid for it, as in other countries, though at 
the same time they will beg in the streets: not a soldier 
will carry you a cloak-bag for money for the world, though 
he will beg a penny, and will do the thing, if commanded 
by his Commander. That, in the citadel of Antwerp, a 
soldier hath not a liberty of begging till he hath served 
three years. They will cry out against their King and 
Commanders and Generals, none like them in the world, 
and yet will not hear a stranger say a word of them but 
they will cut his throat. That, upon a time, some of the 
Commanders of their army exclaiming against their Gene- 
rals, and particularly the Marquis de Caranen,” the Confessor 
of the Marquis coming by and hearing them, he stops and 
gravely tells them that the three great trades of the world 
are, the lawyers, who govern the world; the churchmen, 
who enjoy the world; and a sort of fellows whom they call 
soldiers, who make it their work to defend the world. He 
told us too, that Turenne being now become a Catholick,*

terests being contrary; the latter to promote trade”* and the 
sea, which, says the Duke of York, is that we have most 
cause to fear; and Turenne to employ the King and his 
forces by land, to encrease his conquests. W. Hewer tells 
me to-day that he hears that the King of France hath 
declared in print, that he do intend this next summer to 
forbid his commanders to strike*® to us, but that both we 
and the Dutch shall strike to him; and that he hath made 
his Captains swear already, that they will observe it: 
which is a great thing if he do it, as I know nothing to 
hinder him. 

21st. To the Temple, the first time my fine horses ever 
carried me, and I am mighty proud of these. So home, and 
there dined with my wife and my people: and then she, and 
W. Hewer, and I out with our coach, but the old horses, 
not daring yet to use the others too much, but only to enter 
them. Went into Holborne, and there saw the woman 
that is to be seen with a beard. She is a little plain woman, 
a Dane: her name, Ursula Dyan; about forty years old; 
her voice like a little girl’s; with a beard as much as any 
man I ever saw, black almost, and grizly; it began to grow 
at about seven years old, and was shaved not above seven 
months ago, and is now so big as any man’s almost that ever 
I saw; I say, bushy and thick. It was a strange sight to 
me, I confess, and what pleased me mightily. Thence to 
the Duke’s playhouse, and saw ‘‘ Macbeth.” ‘The King and 
Court there; and we sat just under them and my Lady 
Castlemaine, and close to a woman that comes into the pit, 
a kind of a loose gossip, that pretends to be like her, and is 
so, something. And my wife, by my troth, appeared, I 
think, as pretty as any of them; I never thought so much 
before; and so did Talbot and W. Hewer, as, I heard, they 
said to one another. The King and the Duke of York 
minded me, and smiled upon me, at the handsome woman 
near me: but it vexed me to see Moll Davis, in the box

upon the King, and he up to her; and so did my Lady 
Castlemaine once, to see who it was; but when she saw 
Moll Davis, she looked like fire; which troubled me. 

23d. Discoursed with Sir John Bankes, who thinks this 
prorogation will please all but the Parliament itself, which 
will, if ever they meet, be vexed at Buckingham, who yet 
governs all. He says the Nonconformists are glad of it, 
and, he believes, will get the upper hand in a little time, for 
the King must trust to them or nobody; and he thinks the 
King will be forced to it. He says that Sir D. Gauden is 
mightily troubled at Pen’s being put upon him, by the 
Duke of York,* and that he believes he will get clear of it, 
which, though it will trouble me to have Pen still at the 
Office, yet I shall think D. Gauden do well in it, and what 
I would advise him to, because I love him. So home to 
dinner, and then with my wife alone abroad, with our new 
horses, the beautifullest almost that ever I saw, and the 
first time they ever carried her and me, but once; but we 
are mighty proud of them. To her tailor’s, and to see the 
*Change, and laid out three or four pounds in lace, for her 
and me; and so home, and there I upto my Lord Brouncker, 
at his lodgings, and sat with him an hour, on purpose to 
talk over the wretched state of this Office at present, accord- 
ing to the present hands it is made up of; wherein he do 
fully concur with me, and that it is our part not only to 
prepare for defending it and ourselves, against the conse- 
quences of it, but to take the best ways we can, to make it 
known to the Duke of York: for, till Sir J. Minnes be 
removed, and a sufficient man brought into W. Pen’s place, 
when he is gone, it is impossible for this Office ever to support 
itself. 

24th. A cold day. Up, and to the Office, where all the 
morning alone, nobody meeting, being the eve of Christmas. 
At noon home to dinner, and then at the Office busy, all the 
afternoon, and at night home.

and Des Cartes’ book of Musick’—the latter of which I 
understand not, nor think he did well that writ it, though a 
most learned man. Then, after supper, I made the boy

come to me; and so, my mind in mighty content, we to

to a play, at the Duke of York’s house, the house full of 
ordinary citizens. The play was “ Women Pleased,’* which 
we had never seen before; and, though but indifferent, yet 
there is a good design for a good play. 

27th. (Lord’s-day.) Saw the King at chapel; but staid 
not to hear anything, but went to walk in the Park, with 
W. Hewer; and there, among others, met with Sir G. 
Downing, and walked with him an hour, talking of business, 
and how the late war was managed, there being nobody to 
take care of it: and he telling, when he was in Holland, 
what he offered the King to do, if he might have power, 
and then, upon the least word, perhaps of a woman, to the 
King, he was contradicted again, and particularly to the 
loss of all that we lost in Guinny. He told me that he had 
so good spies, that he hath had the keys taken out of De 
Witt’s* pocket when he was a-bed, and his closet opened,

and carried back and laid in the place again, and keys put 
into De Witt’s pocket again. He says that he hath always 
had their most private debates, that have been but between 
two or three of the chief of them, brought to him in an 
hour after, and an hour after that, hath sent word thereof to 
the King, but nobody here regarded them. But he tells me 
the sad news, that he is out of all expectations that ever 
the debts of the Navy will be paid, if the Parliament do not 
enable the King to do it by money; all they can hope for to 
do out of the King’s revenue being but to keep our wheels 
a-going on present services, and, if they can, to cut off the 
growing interest: which is a sad story, and grieves me to 
the heart. 

28th. Called up by drums and trumpets; these things and 
boxes having cost me much money this Christmas already, 
and will do more. 

29th. Up, and at the Office all the morning, and at noon 
to dinner, and there, by a pleasant mistake, find my uncle 
and aunt Wight, and three more of their company, come to 
dine with me to-day, thinking that they had been invited, 
which they were not; but yet we did give them a pretty 
good dinner, and mighty merry at the mistake. They sat 
most of the afternoon with us, and then parted, and my 
wife and I out, thinking to have gone to a play, but it 
was too far begun, and so to the ’Change, and there she 
and I bought several things, and so home, with much plea- 
sure talking, and then to reading, and so to supper, and 
to bed. 

30th. Up, and vexed a little to be forced to pay 40s. for 
a glass ef my coach, which was broke the other day, nobody 
knows how, within the door, while it was down; but I do 
doubt that I did break it myself with my knees, After 
dinner, my wife and I to the Duke’s playhouse, and there 
did see “ King Harry the Eighth;” and was mightily pleased, 
better than I ever expected, with the history and shows of 
it, We happened to sit by Mr. Andrews, our neighbour,

January Ist. Presented from Captain Beckford’ with a 
noble silver warming-pan, which I am doubtful whether to 
take or no. To the cabinet-shops, to look out, and did 
agree, for a cabinet to give my wife for a New-year’s gift; 
and I did buy one cost me 11I., which is very pretty, of 
walnutt-tree. To the Old Exchange, and met my uncle 
Wight; and there walked, and met with the Houblons, and 
talked with them—gentlemen whom I honour mightily: 
and so to my uncle’s, and met my wife; and there, with W. 
Hewer, we dined with our family, and had a very good 
dinner, and pretty merry: and after dinner, my wife and 
I with our coach to the King’s playhouse, and there in a 
box saw ‘‘ The Mayden Queene.” Knipp looked upon us, 
but I durst not show her any countenance; and, as well as 
I could carry myself, I found my wife uneasy there, poor 
wretch! therefore, I shall avoid that house as soon as I can. 
So back to my aunt’s, and there supped and talked, and 
staid pretty late, it being dry and moonshine, and so walked 
home. 

2d. Home to dinner, where I find my cabinet, and paid 
for it, and it pleases me and my wife well. 

3d. (Lord’s day.) Busy all the morning, getting rooms 
and dinner ready for my guests, which were my uncle and 
aunt Wight, and two of their cousins, and an old woman, 
and Mr. Mills and his wife; and a good dinner, and all our 
plate out, and mighty fine and merry, only I a little vexed 
at burning a new table-cloth myself, with one of my

good talk with him: to White Hall by coach, and there left 
him. Up and down the House till the evening, hearing 
how the King do intend’ this frosty weather, it being this 
day the first, and very hard frost, that hath come this year, 
and very cold it is. So home; and to supper and read; 
and there my wife and I treating about coming to an allow- 
ance to her for clothes; and there I, out of my natural back- 
wardness, did hang off, which vexed her, and did occasion 
some discontented talk in bed, when we went to bed; and also 
in the morning, but I did recover all. 

4th. Talking with my wife, and did of my own accord 
come to an allowance of her 301. a-year for all expences, 
clothes and everything, which she was mightily pleased 
with, it being more than ever she asked or expected, and so 
rose, with much content. W. Hewer and I went and saw 
the great tall woman that is to be seen, who is but twenty- 
one years old, and I do easily stand under her arms.” Then, 
going further, The. Turner called me, out of her coach 
where her mother, &c., was, and invited me by all means to 
dine with them, at my cozen Roger’s mistress’s, the widow 
Dickenson. So I went to them afterwards, and dined with 
them, and mighty handsomely treated, and she a wonder- 
fully merry, good-humoured, fat, but plain woman, but I 
believe a very good woman, and mighty civil to me. Mrs. 
Turner,® the mother,* and Mrs. Dyke,’ and The., and Betty 
was the company, and a gentleman of their acquaintance. 
Betty I did long to see, and she is indifferent pretty, but 
not what the world did speak of her; but I am mighty glad 
to have one so pretty of our kindred. After dinner, I 
walked with them, to show them the great woman, which 
they admire, as well they may; and back with them, and

left them; and I to White Hall, where a Committee of 
Tangier met; and I did receive an instance of the Duke of 
York’s kindness to me, and the whole Committee, that they 
would not order any thing about the Treasury for the Cor- 
poration now in establishing, without my assent, and con- 
sidering whether it would be to my wrong or no. Thence 
up and down the House, and to the Duke of York’s side, 
and there in the Duchess’s presence; and was mightily 
complimented by my Lady Peterborough, in my Lord 
Sandwich’s presence, whom she engaged to thank me for 
my kindness to her and her Lord. By and by I met my 
Lord Brouncker; and he and I to the Duke of York alone, 
and discoursed over the carriage of the present Treasurers, 
in opposition to, or at least independency of, the Duke of 
York, or our Board, which the Duke of York is sensible of, 
and all remember, I believe; for they do carry themselves 
very respectlessly of him and us. We also declared our 
minds together to the Duke of York about Sir John Min- 
nes’s incapacity to do any service in the Office: he promised 
to speak to the King about it. To supper, and put into 
writing, in merry terms, an agreement between my wife and 
me, about the 801, a-year, and so to bed. This was done 
under both our hands merrily, and put into W. Hewer’s to 
keep. 

5th. The frost and cold continuing. At noon home with 
my people to dinner, and in the evening comes Creed to me, 
and tells me his wife is at my house. §So I in, and spent an 
hour with them, the first time she hath been here, or I haye 
seen her, since she was married. She is not over-handsome, 
though a good lady, and one I love. So after some pleasant 
discourse, they gone, I to the Office again. 

6th. At noon comes Mrs. Turner and Dyke, and Mrs, 
Dickenson, and then comes The. and Betty Turner, the 
latter of which is a very pretty girl; and then Creed and 
his wife, whom I sent for, by my coach. These were my 
guests, and Mrs. Turner’s friend, whom I saw the other 
day, Mr. Wicken, and very merry we were at dinner, 
and so all the afternoon, talking, and looking up and 
down my house; and in the evening’ I did bring out

with wine and good drink: and after a new fashion, to 
prevent spoiling the cake, did put in so many titles into 
a hat, and so-drew cuts; and I was the Queen; and The. 
Turner, King—Creed, Sir Martin Marr-all; and Betty, 
Mrs. Millicent: and so we were mighty merry till it was 
midnight: and, being moonshine and fine frost, they went 
home, I lending some of them my coach to help to carry 
them. 

7th. My wife and I to the King’s playhouse, and there 
saw “ The Island Princesse,’ the first time I ever saw it; 
and it is a pretty good play, many good things being in it, 
and a good: scene of a town on fire. We sat in an upper 
box, and the jade Nell came and sat in the next box; a 
bold merry slut, who lay laughing there upon people; and 
with a comrade of the Duke’s house, that came in to see 
the play. 

8th. Up, and with Colonel Middleton, in his coach, and 
Mr. Tippets to White Hall; and there attended the Duke 
of York with the rest, where the Duke was mighty plain 
with the Treasurers, according to the advice my Lord 
Brouncker and I did give him the other night, and he did 
it fully; and so as, I believe, will make the Treasurers care- 
full of themselves, unless they do resolve upon defying the 
Duke of York. At a Treasury-Chamber, where I alone 
did manage the business of “The Leopard” against the 
whole Committee of the East India Company, with Mr. 
Blackburne with them; and to the silencing of them all, to

people having laid the cloth, and got the rooms all clean 
above-stairs for our dinner to-morrow.

manner and fashion, and with so good company, and every- 
thing to my mind, as I never had more in my life—the com- 
pany being to my heart’s content, and they all well pleased. 
So continued, looking over my books and closet till the 
evening. 

10th. (Lord’s day.) Accidentally talking of our maids 
before we rose, I said a little word that did give occasion 
to my wife to fall out; and she did most excessively, 
almost all the morning, but ended most perfect good friends ; 
but the thoughts of the unquiet which her ripping up of 
old faults will give me, did make me melancholy all day 
long. 

llth. Abroad with my wife to the King’s playhouse, and 
there saw “ The Joviall Crew;” but ill acted to what it 
was heretofore, in Clun’s time, and when Lacy could 
dance. Thence to the New Exchange, to buy some 
things; and, among others, my wife did give me my pair 
of gloves, which, by contract, she is to give me in her 
30]. a-year. Here Mrs. Smith’ tells of the great murder 
thereabouts, on Saturday last, of one Captain Bumbridge,” 
by one Symons, both of her acquaintance; and hectors 
that were at play, and in drink: the former is killed, and 
is kinsman to my Lord of Ormond, which made him 
speak of it with so much passion. So home; and there 


all the evening; and made Tom to prick down some ~ 


little conceits and notions of mine, in musick, which do 
mightily encourage me to spend some more thoughts about 
it; for I fancy, upon good reason, that I am in the right 
way of unfolding the mystery of this matter, better than 
ever yet. 

12th. Up, and to the Office, where, by occasion of a 
message from the Treasurers that their Board found fault 
with Commissioner Middleton, I went up from our Board 
to the Lords of the Treasury, and there did dispute the 
business, it being about the matter of paying a little money 
to Chatham Yard, wherein I find the Treasurers mighty 
supple, and I believe we shall bring them to reason, though 
they begun mighty upon us, as if we had no power of di-

recting them, but they, us. Thence back presently home, 
to dinner, where I discern my wife to have been in pain 
about where I have been, but said nothing to me, but I 
believe did send W. Hewer to seek me, but I take no notice 
of it, but am vexed. So to dinner with my people, and then 
to the Office, where all the afternoon, and did much busi- 
ness, and at it late, and so home to supper, and to bed. 
This day, meeting Mr. Pierce at White Hall, he tells me 
that his boy hath a great mind to see me, and is going to 
school again; and Dr. Clerke, being by, do tell me that he 
is a fine boy; but I durst not answer anything, because I 
durst not invite him to my house, for fear of my wife; and 
therefore, to my great trouble, was forced to neglect that 
discourse. Mr. Pierce, I asking him whither he was going, 
told me as a great secret that he was going to his master’s 
mistress, Mrs. Churchill,” with some physic; meaning, I 
suppose, that she is with child. This evening I observed 
my wife mighty dull, and I myself was not mighty fond, 
because of some hard words she did give me at noon, out of 
a jealousy at my being abroad this morning, which, God 
knows, it was upon the business of the Office unexpectedly: 
but I to bed, not thinking but she would come after me. 
But waking by and by, out of a slumber, which I usually 
fall into presently after my coming into the bed, I found 
she did not prepare to come to bed, but got fresh candles, 
and more wood for her fire, it being mighty cold, too. At 
this being troubled, I after awhile prayed her to come to 
bed; so, after an hour or two, she silent, and I now and 
then praying her to come to bed, she fell out into a fury, 
that I was a rogue, and false to her. I did, as I might 
truly, deny it, and was mightily troubled, but all would not 
serve. At last, about one o’clock, she come to my side of 
the bed, and drew my curtaine open, and with the tongs 
red hot at the ends, made as if she did design to pinch

few words she laid them down; and did by little and little, 
very sillily, let all the discourse fall; and about two, but 
with much seeming difficulty, come to bed, and there lay 
well all night, and long in bed talking together, with 
much pleasure, it being, I know, nothing but her doubt 
of my going out yesterday, without telling her of my 
going, which did vex her, poor wretch! last night, and 
I cannot blame her jealousy, though it do vex me tothe 
heart. 

13th. Home, after visiting my Lady Peterborough, and 
there by invitation find Mr. Povy, and there was also 
Talbot Pepys, newly come from Impington, and dined 
with me. After dinner, I and my wife and Talbot to- 
wards the Temple, and there to the King’s playhouse, and

her, and to order her to act it again, worse than ever, the 
other day, where the King himself was; and since it was 
acted again, and my Lady Harvy provided people to hiss 
her and fling oranges at her: but it seems the heat is come 
to a great height, and real troubles at Court about it. 
Through the Park, where I met the King and the Duke of 
York, and so walked with them; and I did give the Duke 
of York thanks for his favour to me yesterday, at the Com- 
mittee of Tangier, in my absence, where some business was 
brought forward which the Duke of York would not suffer 
to go on, without my presence at the debate. And he 
answered me just thus: that he ought to have a care of 
him that do the King’s business in the manner that I do, 
and words of more force than that. Then down with Lord 
Brouncker to Sir R. Murray, into the King’s little ela- 
boratory, under his closet, a pretty place; and there saw a 
great many chymical glasses and things, but understood 
none of them. With my wife at my cozen Turner’s, where 
I staid, and sat awhile, and carried The. and my wife to 
the Duke of York’s house, to “ Macbeth,” and myself to 
White Hall, to the Lords of the Treasury, about Tangier 
business; and there was by, at much merry discourse be- 
tween them and my Lord Anglesey, who made sport of our 
new Treasurers, and called them his deputys, and much of 
that kind. And having done my own business, I away 
back, and carried my cozen Turner and sister Dyke to a 
friend’s house, where they sup, in Lincoln’s Inn Fields; 
and I to the Duke of York’s house, and so carried The. 
thither, and so home with my wife. This day The. Turner 
shewed me at the play my Lady Portman,’ who was grown 
out of my knowledge. 


The identity, however, is placed beyond a doubt, by a reference to 
“ Catiline’s Conspiracy,” where we find Mrs. Corey acting the part of 
Sempronia, in which “ Doll Common,” as Pepys styles her, gave offence, 
by imitating Lady Harvey, and, consequently, was sent to prison. We 
may add, that Mrs. Corey’s name stands first in the list of female per- 
formers in the King’s company, under Killigrew. See Roscius Angli- 
canus, 1708.

16th. This morning Creed, and in the afternoon comes 
Povy, to advise with me about my answer to the Lords 
Commissioners of Tangier, about the propositions for the - 
Treasurership there,» which I am not much concerned for. 
But the latter, talking of publick things, told me, as Mr. 
Wren also did, that the Parliament is likely to meet again, 
the King being frighted with what the Speaker hath put 
him in mind of—his promise not to prorogue, but only to 
adjourne them. They speak mighty freely of the folly of 
the King in this foolish woman’s business, of my Lady Harvy. 
Povy tells me that Sir W. Coventry was with the King 
alone, an hour this day; and that my Lady Castlemaine is 
now in a higher command over the King than ever—not 
as a mistress, for she scorns him, but as a tyrant, to com- 
mand him: and says that the Duchess of York and the 
Duke of York are mighty great with her, which is a great 
interest to my Lord Chancellor’s* family; and that they do 
agree to hinder all they can the proceedings of the Duke of 
Buckingham and Arlington; and so we are in the old mad 
condition, or rather worse than any; no man knowing what 
the French intend to do the next summer. 

17th. (Lord’s day.) After church, home, and thither 
comes Mrs. Batelier and her two daughters to dinner with 
us; and W. Hewer and his mother, and Mr. Spong. We 
were very civilly merry, and Mrs. Batelier a very discreet 
woman, but mighty fond in the stories she tells of her son 
Will. After dinner, Mr. Spong and I to my closet, there 
to try my instrument Parallelogram, which do mighty well, 
to my full content; but only a little stiff, as being new. 
Thence, taking leave of my guests, to White Hall, and 
there parting with Spong, a man that I mightily love for 
his plainness and ingenuity, spoke with my Lords Bellassis 
and Peterborough about the business now in dispute, about 
my deputing a Treasurer to pay the garrison at Tangier, 
which I would avoid, and not be accountable, and they will 
serve me therein. Here I met Hugh May, and he brings 


ried Sir William Portman, K.B., who was the third and last Baronet 
of his family. Pepys could have known neither of his former wives.

me to the knowledge of Sir Henry Capell,* a member of 
Parliament, and brother of my Lord of Essex,’ who hath a 
great value, it seems, for me; and they appoint a day to 
come and dine with me, and see my books, and papers of 
the Office, which I shall be glad to show them, and have 
opportunity to satisfy them therein. Here all the discourse 
is, that now the King is of opinion to have the Parlia- 
ment called, notwithstanding his late resolutions for pro- 
roguing them; so unstable are his councils, and those about 
him. 

18th. To Sir W. Coventry’s, and there discourse the 
business of my Treasurer’s place, at Tangier, wherein he 
consents to my desire, and concurs therein, which I am glad 
of, that I may not be accountable for a man so far off. And 
so I to my Lord Sandwich’s, and there walk with him 
through the garden,* to White Hall, where he tells me 
what he hath done about his Treasurer’s place, and I 
perceive the whole thing did proceed from him: that finding 
it would be best to have the Governor have nothing to do 
with the pay of the garrison, he did propose to the Duke of 
York alone that a pay-master should be there; and that 
being desirous to do a courtesy to Sir Charles Harbord,* 
and to prevent the Duke of York’s looking out for any body 
else, he did name him to the Duke of York. That when 
he came the other day to move this to the Board of Tangier, 
the Duke of York, it seems, did really reply, that it was 
fit to have Mr. Pepys satisfied therein first, and that it 
was not good to make places for persons. This my Lord 
in great confidence tells me, that he do take very ill from 
the Duke of York, though nobody knew the meaning of 


*Henry, second son of Arthur, first Baron Capel of Hadham, and 
himself elevated to the Peerage, in 1692, by the title of Lord Capel of

been created K.B. at the coronation of Charles II., and was a lead- 
ing member of the House of Commons; and, in 1679, appointed first 
Commissioner of the Admiralty. At the time of his death at Dublin 
Castle, 30th May, 1696, he was Lord Deputy of Ireland. He left no

these words but him; and that he did take no notice of 
them, but bit his lip, being satisfied that the Duke of 
York’s care of me was as desirable to him, as it could 
be to serve Sir Charles Harbord: and did seem industrious 
to let me see that he was glad that the Duke of York 
and he might come to contend who shall be the kindest to 
me, which I owned as his great love, and so I hope and 
believe it is, though my Lord did go a little too far in 
this business, to move it so far, without consulting me. 
But I took no notice of that, but was glad to see this 
competition come about, that my Lord Sandwich is appa- 
rently jealous of my thinking that the Duke of York do 
mean me more kindness than him. So we walked together, 
and I took this occasion to invite him to dinner to my 
house, and he readily appointed Friday next, which I shall 
be glad to have over to his content, he having never yet eat 
a bit of my bread. Thence to the Duke of York on the 
King’s side, and meeting Mr. Sidney Montagu and Sheres, a 
small invitation served their turn to carry them to London, 
where I paid Sheres* his 100/., given him for his pains in 
drawing the plate of Tangier fortifications. Home to my 
house to dinner, where I had a pretty handsome sudden din- 
ner, and all well pleased; and thence we three and my wife 
to the Duke of York’s playhouse, and there saw “* The Witts,” 
a medley of things, but some similes mighty good, though 
ill mixed. At White Hall, and there in the Queen’s with- 
drawing-room invited my Lord Peterborough to dine with 
me, with my Lord Sandwich, who readily accepted it. To 
the Pope’s Head tavern, there to see the fine painted room 
which Rogerson told me of, of his doing; but I do not like 
it at all, though it be good for such a publick room. 

19th. At noon eat a mouthful, and so with my wife to 
Madam Turner’s, and find her gone, but The. staid for us; 
and so to the King’s house, to see “‘ Horace; this the

third day of its acting—a silly tragedy; but Lacy hath made 
a farce of several dances—between each act, one: but his 
words are but silly, and invention not extraordinary, as to 
the dances; only some Dutchmen come out of the mouth and 
tail of a Hamburgh sow. Thence, not much pleased with the 
play, set them at home in the Strand; and my wife and I 
home, and there to do a little business at the Office, and so 
home to supper and to bed. 

20th. Up; and my wife, and I, and W. Hewer to White 
Hall, where she set us down; and there I spoke with my 
Lord Peterborough, to tell him of the day for his dining 
with me, being altered by my Lord Sandwich from Friday 
to Saturday next. Heard at the Council-board the City, by 
their single counsel Symson, and the company of Strangers 
Merchants," debate the business of water-baylage; a tax 
demanded upon all goods, by the City, imported and ex- 
ported: which these Merchants oppose, and demanding 
leave to try the justice of the City’s demand by a Quo 
Warranto, which the City opposed, the Merchants did quite 
lay the City on their backs with great triumph, the City’s 
cause being apparently too weak: but here I observed 
Mr. Gold,’ the merchant, to speak very well, and very 
sharply, against the City. ‘To the Duke of York’s house,

think, one of the weakest plays that ever I saw on the

Povy’s advice; and have bespoke him to come to take

measure of my dining-room panels. There I met with the 
pretty daughter of the coal-seller’s, that lived in Cheapside, 
and now in Covent Garden, who hath her picture drawn 
here, but very poorly; but she is a pretty woman, and now, 
I perceive, married, a very pretty black woman. Home, 
my wife letting fall some words of her observing my eyes to 
be mightily employed in the play-house, meaning upon 
women, which did vex me; but, however, when we come 
home, we were good friends; and so to read, and to supper, 
and so to bed. 

21st. In my own coach home, where I find Madam Tur- 
ner, Dyke, and The.; and had a good dinner for them, 
and merry; and so carried them to the Duke of York’s 
house, all but Dyke, who went away on other business; and 
there saw “ The Tempest ;” but it is but ill done by Gosnell, 
in lieu of Moll Davis. Thence set them at home with my 
wife; and I to the "Change, and so home, where my wife 
mighty dogged, and I vexed to see it, being mightily troubled, 
of late, at her being out of humour, for fear of her discover- 
ing any new matter of offence against me, though I am 
conscious of none; but I do hate to be unquiet at home. 
So, late up, silent, and not supping, but hearing her utter 
some words of discontent to me with silence, and so to 
bed, weeping to myself for grief, which she discerning, come 
to bed, and mighty kind. 

22d. To the Exchange, calling at several places on occa- 
sions relating to my feast to-morrow, on which my mind is 
now set; as how to get a new looking-glass for my dining- 
room, and some pewter, and good wine, against to-morrow; 
and so home, where I had the looking-glass set up, cost me

whom I was on Wednesday; and he took measure of my

have the four houses of the King, White Hall, Hampton 
Court; Greenwich, and Windsor. Mightily pleased with 
the fellow that came to lay the cloth, and fold the napkins, 
which I like so well, as that I am resolved to give him 40s. to 
teach my wife to do it. So to supper, with much kindness 
between me and my wife, which, now-a-days, is all my care, 
and so to bed.

23d. To the Office till noon, when word brought me that 
my Lord Sandwich was come; so I presently rose, and there 
I found my Lords Sandwich, Peterborough, and Sir Charles 
Harbord: and presently after them comes my Lord Hinch- 
inbroke, Mr. Sidney,’ and Sir William Godolphin. And 
after greeting them, and some time spent in talk, dinner 
was brought up, one dish after another, but a dish at a time, 
but all so good; but, above all things, the variety of wines, 
and excellent of their kind, I had for them and all in so good 
order, that they were mightily pleased, and myself full of 
content at it: and indeed it was, of a dinner about six or 
eight dishes, as noble as any man need to have, I think; 
at least, all was done in the noblest manner that ever I had 
any, and I have rarely seen in my life better anywhere else, 
even at the Court. After dinner, my Lords to cards, and 
the rest of us sitting about them and talking, and looking 
on my books and pictures, and my wife’s drawings, which 
they commended mightily; and mighty merry all day long, 
with exceeding great content, and so till seven at -night; 
and so took their leaves, it being dark and foul weather. 
Thus was this entertainment over, the best of its kind, and 

the fullest of honour and content to me, that ever I had 
in my life: and I shall not easily have so good again. The 
truth is, I have some fear that I am more behind-hand in 
the world for these last two years, since I have not, or for 
some time could not, look after my accounts, which do a 
little allay my pleasure. But I do trust in God that I am 
pretty well yet, and resolve, in a very little time, to look 
into my accounts, and see how they stand. 

24th. (Lord’s day.) An order brought me in bed, for the 
Principal Officers to attend the King at my Lord Keeper’s 
this afternoon, it being resolved late the last night; and, by 
the warrant, I find my Lord Keeper did not then know the 
cause of it, the messenger being ordered to call upon him, 
to tell it him by the way, as he came to us. So I up, and 
to my Office to set down my Journall for yesterday, and so

dinner, and after dinner out with my wife by coach, to

cozen Turner’s, where she and The. gone to church, but I 
left my wife with Mrs. Dyke and Joyce Norton, whom I 
have not seen till now. since their coming to town: she is 
become an old woman, and with as cunning a look as ever. 
I to White Hall; and here I met Will. Batelier, newly 
come post from France, his boots all dirty. He brought 
letters to the King, and I glad to see him, it having been 
reported that he was drowned, for some days past. By and 
by the King comes out, and so I took coach, and followed 
his coaches to my Lord Keeper’s, at Essex House,’ where 
I never was before, since I saw my old Lord Essex lie in 
state when he was dead; a large, but ugly house. Here all 
the Officers of the Navy attended, and by and by were 
called in to the King and Cabinet, where my Lord, who was 
ill, did lie upon the bed, as my old Lord Treasurer, or 
Chancellor, heretofore used to do; and the business was to 
know in what time all the King’s ships might be repaired, 
fit for service. The Surveyor answered, in two years, and 
not sooner. I did give them hopes that, with supplies of 
money suitable, we might have them all fit for sea, some 
part of the summer after this. Then they demanded in 
what time we could set out forty ships. It was answered, 
as they might be chosen of the newest and most ready, 
we could, with money, get forty ready against May. The 
King seemed mighty full that he should have money to 
do all that we desired, and satisfied that, without it, nothing 
could be done: and so, without determining any thing, we 
were dismissed; and I doubt all will end in some little 
fleete this year, and that of hired merchant-men, which would 
indeed be cheaper to the King, and have many conveniences 
attending it, more than to fit out the King’s own; and this, 
I perceive, is designed, springing from Sir W. Coventry's 
counsel; and the King and most of the Lords, I perceive, 
full of it, to get the King’s fleete all at once in condition

for service. Thence with Mr. Wren in his coach, for 
discourse’ sake: and he told me how the business of the 
Parliament is wholly laid aside, it being overruled now, 
that they shall not meet, but must be prorogued, upon this 
argument chiefly, that all the differences between the two 
Houses, and things on foot, that were matters of difference 
and discontent, may be laid aside, and must begin again, if 
ever the House shall have a mind to pursue them. Here 
he set me down, and I to my cozen Turner, and stayed 
and talked a little; and so took my wife, and home, and there 
_to make her read, and then to supper, and to bed. At 
supper come W. Batelier and supped with us, and told us 
many pretty things of France, and the greatness of the 
present King. 

25th. My wife showed me many excellent prints of Nan- 
tueill’s* and others, which W. Batelier hath, at my desire, 
brought me out of France, of the King, and Colbert, and 
others, most excellent, to my great content. But he hath 
also brought me a great many gloves perfumed, of several 
sorts; but all too big by half for her, and yet she will have 
two or three dozen of them, which vexed me, and made me 
angry. So she, at last, to please me, did come to take what 
alone I thought fit, which pleased me. 

26th. To the Office, and then to White Hall, leaving my 
wife at Unthanke’s; and I to the Secretary’s chamber, 
where I was, by particular order, this day summonsed to 
attend, as I find Sir D. Gauden also was. And here was 
the King and the Cabinet met; and, being called in, among 
the rest I find my Lord Privy Seale, whom I never before 
knew to be in so much play, as to be of the Cabinet. The 
business is, that the Algerines have broke the peace with 
us, by taking some Spaniards and goods out of an English 
ship, which had the Duke of York’s pass, of which advice 
came this day; and the King is resolved to stop Sir Thomas 
Allen’s fleete from coming home, till he hath amends made 
him for this affront, and therefore sent for us to advise 
about victuals to be sent to that fleete, and some more

ships; wherein I answered them to what they demanded of 
me, which was but some few mean things; but I did see that 
on all these occasions they seem to rely most upon me. 
Home, and there I find W. Batelier hath also sent the books 
which I made him bring me out of France. Among others, 
L’Estat de France, Marnix,* &c., to my great content; and 
so I was well pleased with them: as also one or two printed 
musick-books of songs; but my eyes are now too much out 
of tune to look upon them, with any pleasure. 

27th. To my cozen Turner’s, where I find Roger Pepys 
come last night to town, and here is his mistress, Mrs. 
Dickenson, and by and by comes in Mr. Turner, a worthy, 
sober, serious man—I honour him mightily. And there we 
dined, having but an ordinary dinner; and so, after dinner, 
she, and I, and Roger, and his mistress, to the Duke of 
York’s playhouse, and there saw “The Five Hours’ Ad- 
venture,” which hath not been acted a good while before, but 
once, and is a most excellent play, I must confess. 

28th. Going home to supper with my wife, and to get her 
to read to me, I did find that Mr. Sheres hath, beyond his 
promise, not only got me a candlestick made me, after a form 
he remembers to have seen in Spain, for keeping the light 
from one’s eyes, but hath got it done in silver very neat, 
and designs to give it me, in thanks for my paying him his 
1007. in money, for his service at Tangier, which was or- 
dered him; but I do intend to force him to make me pay 
for it. But I yet, without his direction, cannot tell how it 
is to be made use of. 

29th. To the Duke of York, where I did give a severe 
account of our proceedings, and what we found, in the busi- 
ness of Sir W. Jenings’s demand of Supernumeraries. I 
thought it a good occasion to make an example of him, for 
he is a proud, idle fellow; and it did meet with the Duke 
of York’s acceptance and well-liking; and he did call him 
in, after I had done, and did not only give him a soft 
rebuke, but condemns him to pay both their victuals and 
wages, or right himself of the purser. This I was glad of,

and so were all the rest of us, though I know I have made 
myself an immortal enemy by it. My aunt Wight and her 
husband come presently, and so to dinner; and after dinner 
Roger, and I, and my wife, and aunt, to see Mr. Cole; but 
[neither] he nor his wife was within, but we looked upon 
his picture of Cleopatra, which I went principally to see, 
being so much commended by my wife and aunt; but I find it 
a base copy of a good originall, that vexed me to hear so much 
commended. Thence to see Creed’s wife, where both of 
them within; and here met Mr. Bland, newly come from 
Cales [Cadiz], after his differences with Norwood.* I think 
him a foolish, light-headed man; but certainly he hath 
been abused in this matter, by Colonel Norwood. Here 
Creed showed me a copy of some propositions, which Bland 
and others, in the name of the Corporation of Tangier, did 
present to Norwood, for his opinion in, in order to the 
King’s service, which were drawn up very humbly, and 
were really good things ; but his answer to them was in the 
most proud, carping, insolent and ironically-prophane stile, 
that ever I saw in my life, so as I shall never think the 
place can do well, while he is there. Here, after some talk, 
and Creed’s telling us that he is upon taking the next house 


_to his present lodgings, which is next to that which my 


cozen Tom Pepys once lived in, in Newport Street, in 
Covent Garden; and is in a good place, and then, I sup- 
pose, he will keep his coach. So, setting Roger down at 
the Temple, who tells me that he is now concluded in all 
matters with his widow, we home, and there hired my wife 
to make an end of Boyle’s Book of Formes, to-night and 
to-morrow; and so fell to read and sup, and then to bed. 
This day, Mr. Ned Pickering brought his lady to see my 
wife, in acknowledgement of a little present of oranges and 
olives, which I sent her, for his kindness to me in the buy- 


ing of my horses, which was very civil. She is old, but hath, 


I believe, been a pretty comely woman.”

Balty dined with us, and I spent all the afternoon with my 
wife and W. Batelier talking, and then making them read, 
and particularly made an end of Mr. Boyle’s Book of 
Formes, which I am glad to have over. W. Batelier then 
fell to read a French discourse, which he hath brought over 
with him for me, to invite the people of France to apply 
themselves to Navigation, which it do very well, and is cer- 
tainly their interest, and what will undo us in a few years, 
if the King of France goes on to fit up his Navy, and en- 
crease it and his trade, as he hath begun. After supper my 
wife begun another book I lately bought, called “ The 
State of England,”* which promises well, and is worth 
reading. 

31st. (Lord’s day.) To church, and there did hear the 
Doctor that is lately turned Divine, Dr.,Waterhouse.* He 
preaches in a devout manner, not elegant nor very per- 
suasive, but seems to mean well, and that he would preach 
holily ; and was mighty passionate against people that make 
a scoff of religion. And the truth is, I did observe Mrs. 
Hollworthy smile often, and many others of the parish, 
who, I perceive, have known him, and were in mighty ex- 
pectation of hearing him preach, but could not forbear 
smiling, and she particularly on me, and I on her. So 
home to dinner: and before dinner to my Office, to set down. 
my Journal for this week, and then home to dinner; and after 
dinner to get my wife and boy, one after another, to read to 
me: and so spent the afternoon and the evening, and so 
after supper to bed. And thus endeth this month, with 
many different days of sadness and mirth, from differéhces 
between me and my wife: but this night we are at present 
very kind. And so ends this month. 

February Ist. Up, and by water from the Tower to White 
Hall, the first time that I have gone to that end of the 
town by water, for two or three months, I think, since I

_ kept a coach, which God send propitious to me; but it is a 
very great convenience. Meeting Mr. Povy, he and I away 
to Dancre’s, to speak something touching the pictures I am 
getting him to make for me. And thence he carried me to 
Mr. Streeter’s,* the famous history-painter, over the way, 
whom I have often heard of, but did never see him before; 
and there I found him, and Dr. Wren,’ and several Vir- 
tuosos, looking upon the paintings which he is making for 
the new Theatre at Oxford: and indeed, they look as if 
they would be very fine, and the rest think better than 
those of Rubens, in the Banqueting-house at White Hall, 
but I do not so fully think so. But they will certainly be 
very noble; and I am mightily pleased to have the fortune 
to see this man and his work, which is very famous; and he 
a very civil little man, and lame, but lives very handsomely. 
So thence to my Lord Bellassis, and met him within: my 
business only to see a chimney-piece of Dancre’s doing, in 
distemper, with egg to keep off the glaring of the light, 
which I must have done for my room; and indeed it is 
pretty, but I must confess, I do think it is not altogether so 
beautiful as the oyle pictures; but I will have some of one, 
and some of another. So to the King’s playhouse, thinking 
to have seen “ The Heyresse,”* first acted on Saturday last; 
but when we come thither, we find no play there; Kinaston, 
that did act a part therein, in abuse to Sir Charles Sedley, 
being last night exceedingly beaten with sticks, by two or 
three that saluted him, so as he is mightily bruised, and 
forced to keep his bed.* So we to the Duke of York’s play-

3“ The Heiress” does not appear in the list of the Duke of New- 
castle’s works, nor has any play of that name and date been traced. At 
the same time, it is to be observed, that “ Heir” was formerly used 
for “ Heiress;” and such is the case in May’s play of “The Heir,” in 
vol. viii. of the last edition of Dodsley’s Old Plays. 


*The story about the caning of Kynaston has been preserved by Oldys 
and copied by Malone, who tells us that Kynaston was vain of his per- 
sonal resemblance to Sir C. Sedley, and dressed exactly like him. 
Sedley, to revenge this insult, hired a bravo to chastise him in St. 
James’s Park, under the pretext that he mistook him for the baronet.

house, and there saw ‘She Would if She Could.” ‘This 
day, going to the play, The. Turner met us, and carried us 
to her mother, at my Lady Mordaunt’s; and I did earry 
both mother and daughter with us to the Duke of York’s 
playhouse, next door. 

2d. To dinner at noon, where I find Mr. Sheres; and 
there made a short dinner, and carried him with us to the 
King’s playhouse, where “ The Heyresse,” nothwithstanding 
Kinaston’s being beaten, is acted: and they say the King is 
very angry with Sir Charles Sedley for his being beaten, but 
he do deny it. But his part is done by Beeston, who is fain 
to read it out of a book all the while, and therefore spoils 
the part, and almost the play, it being one of the best parts 
in it; and though the design is, in the first conception of it, 
pretty good, yet it is but an indifferent play, wrote, they 
say, by my Lord Newcastle. But it was pleasant to see 
Beeston come in with others, supposing it to be dark, and 
yet he is forced to read his part by the light of the candles: 
and this I observing to a gentleman that sat by me, he was 
mightily pleased therewith, and spread it up and down. 
But that, that pleased me most in the play is, the first song 
that Knipp sings, she singing three or four; and, indeed, it 
was very finely sung, so as to make the whole house clap 
her. Thence carried Sheres to White Hall, and there I 
stepped in, and looked out Mr. May, who tells me that he 
and his company cannot come to dine with me to-morrow, 
whom I expected only to come to see the manner of our 
Office and books, at which I was not very much displeased, 
having much business at the Office. My wife in mighty ill 
humour all night, and in the morning I found it to be from 


Accotding to Pepys, it would seem that the imitation was made in the 
play of “The Heiress,” which is very likely; and perhaps for this he 
got another beating, or it might be the same, and that in which the 
story, the scene of which is laid in the Park, originated, It is worth 
remarking, on the authority of Mr. Genest, the compiler of Some Ac- 
count of the English Stage from 1660 to 1830, that Sir C. Sedley ex- 
pressly introduced the incident of the beating of one man for another, 
owing to similarity of dress and appearance, into his comedy of “ The 
Mulberry Garden,” which seems to have been first acted 18th May, 
1668, some time before the date Pepys assigns to the caning of Kynas- 
ton, Ist February, 1668-9.

ebserving Knipp to wink and smile on me, and she says I 
smiled on her; and, poor wretch! I did perceive that she 
did, and do on all such occasions, mind my eyes. I did, 
with much difficulty, pacify her, and we were friends, she 
desiring that hereafter, at that house, we might always sit 
either above in a box, or, if there be no room, clese up to 
_ the lewer box. 

$d. Up, and to the Office till noon, and then home to a 
little dinner, and thither again till night, mighty busy, to 
my great content, doing a great deal of business, and so 
home to supper, and to bed; I finding this day that I may be 
able te do a great deal of business by dictating, if I do not 
read myself, or write, without spoiling my eyes, I being very 
well in my eyes after a great day’s work. 

4th. Mr. Spong brings me two or three draughts of the 
port of Brest, to my great content, and I did call Mr. 
Gibson to take notice of it, who is very much pleased there- 
with; and it seems this Parallelogram is not, as Mr. Sheres 
would, the other day, have persuaded me, the same as a 
Protracter,’ which do so much the more make me value it, 
but of itself it is a most useful instrument. Thence out 
with my wife and him, and carried him to an instrument 
maker’s shop in Chancery Lane, that was once a ’prentice 
of Greatorex’s, but the master was not within, and Gibson 
there showed me a Parallelogram in brass, which I like so 
well that I will buy, and therefore bid it be made clean and 
fit for me. And so to my cozen Turner’s, and there just 
spoke with The., the mother not being at home: and so to 
the New Exchange, and thence home to my letters;-and so 
to supper, and to bed. This morning I made a slip from the 
Office to White Hall, expecting Povy’s business, at a Com- 
mittee of Tangier, at which I would be, but it did not meet, 
and so I presently home. 

5th. Betimes to Sir W. Coventry’s, meaning by my visit 
to keep fresh my interest in him: and he tells me how it 
hath been talked that he was to go one of the Commis- 
sioners to Ireland, which he was resolved never to do, unless 
directly commanded; for that to go thither, while the Chief 
Secretary of State was his professed enemy, was to undo

himself; and, therefore, it were better for him to venture 
being unhappy here, than to go further off, to be undone 
by some obscure instructions, or whatever other way of mis- 
chief his enemy should cut out for him. He mighty kind 
to me, and so parted. Thence home, calling in two or three 
places—among others, Dancre’s, where I find him beginning 
of a piece for me, of Greenwich, which will please me well, 
and so home to dinner, and very busy all the afternoon, and 
so at night home to supper, and to bed. 

6th. To the King’s playhouse, and there,—in an upper 
box, where come in Colonel Poynton* and Doll Stacey, 
who is very fine, and, by her wedding-ring, I suppose he 
hath married her at last,—did see “‘ The Moor of Venice:” 
but ill acted in most parts; Mohun, which did a little sur- 
prise me, not acting Iago’s part by much so well as Clun 
used to do; nor another Hart’s, which was Cassio’s; nor, 
indeed, Burt doing the Moor’s so well as I once thought he 
did. Thence home, and just at Holborn Conduit the bolt 
broke, that holds the fore-wheels to the perch, and so the 
horses went away with them, and left the coachman and us; 
but being near our coachmaker’s and we staying in a little 
ironmonger’s shop, we were presently supplied with ano- 
ther. 

7th. (Lord’s day.) I up,:and to church, and so home to 
dinner, where my wife in a jealous fit, which lasted all the 
afternoon, and shut herself up in her closet, and I mightily 
grieved and vexed, and could not get her to tell me what 
ailed her, or to let me into her closet, but at last she did, 


+Probably Boynton. Sir Matthew Boynton, of Barmston, in York- 
shire, was created a Baronet in 1618. He had seven sons, one of whom, 
Colonel Boynton, having embraced, like his father, the cause of the 
parliament, took Sir John Hotham prisoner at York. Sir Matthew 
died in 1646. His eldest son became Sir Francis Boynton; the second, 
Matthew, was slain at Wigan, before the advance of Charles II. to Wor- 
cester: he left two daughters, one of whom, Katherine, the Maid of 
Honour, who figures in Grammont, married Richard Talbot, afterwards 
Duke of Tyrconnel; the other married Wentworth, Earl of Ros- 
common. The remaining five sons, Marmaduke, John, Gustavus, Cor- 
nelius, Charles, all died unmarried. One of the sons must have been 
the Colonel Boynton who took Sir John Hotham prisoner, and in all 
probability he is the same who is here mentioned in connexion with © 
Doll Stacey. Pepys only supposes he had married her. 


1663-69] SAMUEL PEPYS 97 


where I found her crying on the ground, and could not 
please her; but at last find that she did plainly expound 
it to me. It was that she did believe me false to her with 
Jane, and did rip up three or four silly circumstances of her 
not rising till I come out of my chamber, and her letting 
me thereby see her dressing herself; and that I must needs 
go into her chamber: which was so silly, and so far from 
truth, that I could not be troubled at it, though I could not 
wonder at her being troubled, if she had these thoughts. At 
last, I did give her such satisfaction, that we were mighty 
good friends. 

8th. Up, and dressed myself; and by coach, with W. 
Hewer and my wife, to White Hall, where she set us down; 
and in the way, our little boy, at Martin, my bookseller’s 
shop, going to ’light, did fall down; and, had he not been 
a most nimble boy (I saw how he did it, and was mightily 
pleased with him for it), he had been run over by the coach. 
To visit my Lord Sandwich; and there, while my Lord was 
dressing himself, did see a young Spaniard, that he hath 
brought over with him, dance, which he is admired for, 
as the best dancer in Spain, and indeed he do with mighty 
mastery; but I do not like his dancing as well as the 
English, though my Lord commends it mightily: but I 
will have him to my house, and show it my wife. Here I 
met with Mr. Moore, who tells me the state of my Lord’s 
accounts of his embassy, which I find not so good as I 
thought: for, though it be passed the King and his Cabal, 
the Committee for Foreign Affairs, as they are called, yet 
they have cut off from 19,000/. full 80001., and have now 
sent it to the Lords of the Treasury, who, though the Com- 
mittee have allowed the rest, yet they are not obliged to abide 
by it. So that I do fear this account may yet be long ere 
it be passed—much more, ere that sum be paid: I am sorry 
for the family, and not a little for what it owes me. To my 
wife, and in our way home did show her the tall woman, in 
Holborne, which I have seen before; and I measured her, 
and she is, without shoes, just six feet five inches high, and 
they say not above twenty-one years old. Thence home, ° 
and there to dinner, and my wife in a wonderful ill humour; 
and, after dinner, I staid with her alone, being not able to 
endure this life, and we fell to some angry words together;

but by and by were mighty good friends, she telling me 
plain it was about Jane, which I made a matter of mirth 
at; but at last did call up Jane, and confirm her mistress’s 
directions for her being gone at Easter, which I find the 
wench willing to be, but directly prays that Tom might go 
with her, which I promised, and was but what I designed; 
and she being thus spoke with, and gone, my wife and I 
good friends. This day I was told by Mr. Wren, that Cap- 
tain Cox, Master-Attendant at Deptford, is to be one of us 
very soon; he and Tippets being to take their turns for 
Chatham and Portsmouth, which choice I like well enough; 
and Captain Annesley is to come in his room at Deptford. 
This morning, also going to visit Roger Pepys, at the potti- 
cary’s in King’s Street, he tells me that Roger is gone to 
his wife’s, so that they have been married, as he tells me, 
ever since the middle of last week: it was his design, upon 
good reasons, to make no noise of it; but I am well enough 
contented that it is over. ; 

9th. To the King’s playhouse, and there saw “ The Island 
Princesse,” which I like mighty well, as an excellent play: 
and here we find Kinaston to be well enough to act again, 
which he do very well, after his beating, by Sir Charles Sed- 
ley’s appointment. 

10th. To White Hall, where the Duke of York was gone 
a-hunting: and so to the plaisterer’s at Charing Cross, that 
casts heads and bodies in plaister: and there I had my 
whole face done; but I was vexed first to be forced to daub 
all my face over with pomatum: but it was pretty to feel 
how soft and easily it is done on the face, and by and by, 


by degrees, how hard it becomes, that you cannot break it, — 


and sits so close, that you cannot pull it off, and yet so easy, 
that it is as soft as a pillow, so safe is everything where 
many parts of the body do bear alike. ‘Thus was the mould 
made; but when it came off there was little pleasure in it, — 
as it looks in the mould, nor any resemblance whatever ~ 
there will be in the figure, when I come to see it cast off. 
To White Hall, where I staid till the Duke of York came 
from hunting, which he did by and by, and, when dressed, 
did come out to dinner; and there I waited: and he did 
mightily magnify his sauce, which he did then eat with every 
thing, and said it was the best universal sauce in the world, 


1668-69] SAMUEL PEPYS ~ 99 


it being taught him by the Spanish Embassador;* made of 
some parsley and a dry toast, beat in a mortar, together with 
vinegar; salt, and a little pepper; he eats it with flesh, or 
fowl, or fish: and then he did now mightily commend some 
new sort of wine lately found out, called Navarre wine, 
which I tasted, and is, I think, good wine: but I did like 
better the notion of the sauce, and by and by did taste it, 
and liked it mightily. After dinner, I did what I went for, 
which was to get his consent that Balty might hold his 
Muster-Master’s place by deputy, in his new employment 
which I design for him, about the Storekeeper’s accounts; 
which the Duke of York did grant me, and I was mightily 
glad of it. Home, and there I find Povy and W. Batelier, 
by appointment, met to talk of some merchandize of wine 
and linen; but I do not like of their troubling my house 
to meet in, having no mind to their pretences of having their 
tendezvous here. 

llth. Heard that the last night Colonel Middleton’s wife? 
died; a woman I never saw since she come hither, having 
nevef been within their house since. 

12th. To wait on the Duke of York, with the rest of us, 
at the Robes, where the Duke of York did tell us that the 
King would have us prepare a draught of the present ad- 
ministration of the Navy, and what it was in the late times 
in order to his being able to distinguish between the good 
and the bad, which I shall do, but to do it well will give me 
a great deal of trouble. Here we showed him Sir J. Min- 
Nies’s propositions about balancing Storekeeper’s accounts; 
and I did show him Hosier’s, which did please him mightily, 
and he will have it showed the Council and King anon, to 
be put in practice. Thence to the Treasurer’s; and I and 
Sir J. Minnes and Mr. Tippets down to the Lords Com- 
Missionets of the Treasury, and there had a hot debate 
from Sir Thomas Clifford and my Lord Ashly, the latter of 
' whom, I hear, is turning about as fast as he can to the Duke 
of Buckingham’s side, being m danger, it seems; of being 
Gtherwise otit of play, which would not be convenient for 
him, agaist Sir W. Coventry and Sir J. Duncomb, who 
did uphold our Office against an accusation of our Treasurers,

who told the Lords that they found that we had run the 

King in debt 50,000/., or more more than the money ap- 

pointed for the year would defray, which they declared like 

fools, and with design to hurt us, though the thing is in 

itself ridiculous. But my Lord Ashly and Clifford did most 
horribly cry out against the want of method in the Office. 

At last it came that it should be put in writing what they 

had to object; but I was devilish mad at it, to see us thus 

wounded by our own members. My wife and I to Hercules 
Pillars, and there dined; and there coming a Frenchman by 
with his Shew, we did make him shew it us, which he did 
just as Lacy acts it, which made it mighty pleasant to me. . 
Away, and to Dancre’s, and there saw our picture of Green- 
wich in doing,’ which is mighty pretty. Attended with Lord 
Brouncker the King and Council, about the proposition of 
balancing Storekeeper’s accounts; and there presented 
Hosier’s book, and it was mighty well resented’? and ap- 
proved of. So the Council being up, we to the Queen’s 
side with the King and Duke of York: and the Duke of 
York did take me out to talk of our Treasurers, whom he 
is mighty angry with; and I perceive he is mighty desirous 
to bring in as many good motions of profit and reformation 
in the Navy as he can, before the Treasurers do light upon 
them, they being desirous, it seems, to be thought the great 
reformers: and the Duke of York do well. But to my 
great joy he is mighty open to me in every thing; and by 
this means I know his whole mind, and shall be able to se- 
cure myself, if he stands. Here to-night I understand, by 
my Lord Brouncker, that at last it is concluded on by the 
King and Buckingham that my Lord of Ormond shall not 
hold his government of Ireland, which is a great stroke, to 
shew the power of Buckingham and the poor spirit of the © 
King, and little hold that any man can have of him. I and 
my wife called at my cozen Turner’s, and there met our 
new cozen Pepys, Mrs. Dickenson, and Bab. and Betty 
come yesterday to town, poor girls, whom we have reason 
to love, and mighty glad we are to see them; and there 

staid a little, being also mightily pleased to see Betty Tur- —

ner, who is now in town, and her brothers Charles and Will, 
being come from school to see their father, and there talked 
a while, and so home, and there Pelling hath got W. Pen’s 
book against the Trinity." I got my wife to read it to me; 
and I find it so well writ as, I think, it is too good for him 
ever to have writ it; and it is a serious sort of book, and 
not fit for every body to read. 

14th. (Lord’s day.) Up, and by coach to Sir W. Coventry ; 
and there he tells me he takes no care for any thing more 
than in the Treasury; and that, that being done, he goes to 
cards and other delights, as plays, and in the summer-time 
to bowles. But here he did show me two or three old 
books of the Navy, of my Lord Northumberland’s’ times, 
which he hath taken many good notes out of, for justifying 
the Duke of York and us, in many things, wherein, per- 
haps, precedents will be necessary to produce. Thence to 
White Hall, where the Duke of York expected me; and in 
his closet Wren and I. He did tell me how the King hath 
been acquainted with the Treasurers” discourse at the Lords 
Commissioners of the Treasury, the other day, and is dis- 
satisfied with our running him in debt, which I removed; 
and he did carry me to the King, and I did satisfy him also; 
but his satisfaction is nothing worth, it being easily got, and 
easily removed; but I do purpose to put in writing that 
which shall make the Treasurers ashamed. But the Duke 
of York is horrid angry against them; and he hath cause, 
for they do work all they can to bring dishonour upon his 
management, as do plainly appear in all they do. Having 
done with the Duke of York, who do repose all in me, I 
with Mr. Wren to his chamber, to talk; where he observed, 
that these people are all of them a broken sort of people, 
that have not much to lose, and therefore will venture all to

make their fortunes better; that Sir Thomas Osborne is a 
beggar, having 11 or 1200]. a-year, but cwes above 10,0001. 
The Duke of Buckingham’s condition is shortly this: that 
he hath about 19,6001. a-year, of which he pays away 
about 7000]. a-year in interest, about 2000]. in fee-farm 
rents to the King, about 60001. in wages and pensions, and 
the rest to live upon, and pay taxes for the whole. Wren 
says, that for the Duke of York to stir in this matter, as 
his quality might justify, would but make all things worse, 
and that therefore he must bend, and suffer all, till time 
works it out: that he fears they will sacrifice the Church, 
and that the King will take anything, and so he will hold 
up his head a little longer, and then break in pieces. But 
Sir W. Coventry did to-day mightily magnify my late Lord 
Treasurer; for a wise and solid, though infirm man: and, 
among other things, that when he hath said it was im- 
possible in nature to find this or that sum of money, and 
my Lord Chancellor® hath made sport of it, arid told the 
King that when my Lord hath said it was impossible, yet 
he hath made shift to find it, and that was by Sir G. Car- 
teret’s getting credit, my Lord did once in his hearing say 
thus, which he magnifies as a great saying—that impossible 
would be found impossible at last; meaning that the King 
would run himself out, beyond all his credit and funds, and 
then we should too late find it impossible; which is, he says, 
now come to pass. 

15th. Up, and with Tom to White Hall; and there at a — 
Committee of Tangier, where a great instance of what a 
man may lose by the neglect of a friend: Povy never had 
such an opportunity of passing his accounts, the Duke of 
York being there, and everybody well disposed, and in ex- 
pectation of them; but my Lord Ashly, on whom he felied, 
and for whose sake this day was pitched on, that he might 
be sure to be there, among the rest of his friends, staid too 
long, till the Duke of York and his company thotight unfit 
to stay longer: and so the day lost, and God knows when 
he will have so good a one again, as long as he lives; and 
this was the man of the whole company that he hath made 
the most interest to gain, and now most depended upon

him. To the plaisterer’s, and there saw the figure of my 
face taken from the mould: and it is most admirably like, 
and I will have another made, before I take it away. To 
my cozen Turner’s, where, having the last night been told 
by her that she had drawn me for her Valentine, I did this 
day call at the New Exchange, and bought her a pair of 
green silk stockings’ and garters and shoe-strings, and two 
pair of jessimy gloves, all coming to about 28s., and did 
give them to her this noon. At the Change, I did at my 
bookseller’s shop accidentally fall into talk with Sir Samuel 
Tuke* about trees, and Mr. Evelyn’s garden; and I do find 
him, I think, a little conceited, but a man of very fine dis- 
course as any I ever heard almost, which I was mighty 
glad of. After dinner, my wife and I endeavored to make 
a visit to Ned Pickering; but he not at home, nor his lady; 
and therefore back again, and took up my cozen Turner, 
and to my cozen Roger’s lodgings, and there find him pretty 
well again, and his wife mighty kind and merry, and did 
make mighty much of us, and I believe he is married to a 
very good woman. Here was also Bab. and Betty, who 
have not their clothes yet, and therefore cannot go out, 
otherwise I would have had them abroad to-morrow; but 
the poor girls mighty kind to us, and we must shew them 
kindness also. In Suffolk Street lives Moll Davis; and we 
did see her coach come for her to her door, a mighty pretty 
fine coach. To White Hall; and there, by means of Mr. 
Cooling, did get into the play, the only one we have seen 
this winter: it was ‘The Five Hours’ Adventure:” but 
I sat so far I could not hear well, nor was there any 
pretty woman that I did see; but my wife, who sat in 
my Lady Fox’s pew® with her. The house very full; and

late before done, so that it was past eleven before we got 
home. 

16th. Home, where I find some things for W. Batelier’s 
come out of France, among which some clothes of my wife, 
wherein she is likely to lead me to the expence of so much 
money as vexed me; but I seemed so, more than I at this 
time was, only to prevent her talking too much. But I was 
mightily pleased with another picture of the King of France’s 
head, of Nanteuil’s, bigger than the other which he brought 
over: and so to the Office, where busy all the afternoon, 
though my eyes mighty bad with the light of the candles 
last night, which was so great as to make my eyes sore all 
this day, and to teach me, by a manifest experiment, that it 
is only too much light that do make my eyes sore. Never- 
theless, with the help of my tube, and being desirous of 
easing my mind of five or six days journall, I did venture 
to write it down from ever since this day se’nnight, and I 
think without hurting my eyes any more than they were 
before, which was very much, and so home to supper and to 
bed. 

17th. The King dining yesterday at the Dutch Embas- 
sador’s, after dinner they drank, and were pretty merry; 
and, among the rest of the King’s company, there was that 
worthy fellow my Lord of Rochester, and Tom Killigrew, 
whose mirth and raillery offended the former so much, that 
he did give Tom Killigrew a box on the ear in the King’s 
presence, which do give much offence to the people here at 
Court, to see how cheap the King makes himself, and the 
more, for that the King hath not only passed by the thing, and 
pardoned it to Rochester already, but this very morning the 
King did publickly walk up and down, and Rochester I saw 
with him as free as ever, to the King’s everlasting shame, 
to have so idle a rogue his companion.» How Tom Killi- 
time, within consecrated walls, from the word being applied indif- 
ferently by Pepys to a box in a place of amusement, and two days after- 
wards to a seat at church. It would appear, from other authorities, that 
between 1646 and 1660, scarcely any pews had been erected; and Sir 


. C. Wren is known to have objected to their introduction into his Lon- 
don churches. 


1It ought to be remembered, however, that Rochester was not yet 
twenty-one years old, whilst Charles was of the mature age of thirty- 
eight.

my Lord Privy Seale do accept to go Lieutenant into Ire- 
land; but whether it be true or not, I cannot tell. To 
Colonel Middleton’s, to the burial of his wife,’ where we 
were all invited, and much more company, and had each of 
us a ring: and so towards evening to our church, where there 
Was a sermon preached by Mills, and so home. Comes 
Castle to me, to desire me to go to Mr. Pedly this night, he 
being to go out of town to-morrow morning, which I, there- 
fore, did, by hackney-coach, first going to White Hall to 
meet with Sir W. Coventry, but missed him. But here I 
had a pleasant rencontre of a lady in mourning, that, by 
the little light I had, seemed handsome. I passing by her, 
did observe she looked back again and again upon me, I 
suffering her to go before, and it being now duske. She 
went into the little passage towards the Privy Water-Gate, 
and I followed, but missed her; but coming back again, I 
observed she returned, and went to go out of the Court. 
I followed her, and took occasion, in the new passage now 
built, where the walk is to be, to take her by the hand, to 
lead her through, which she willingly accepted, and I led 
her to the Great Gate, and there left her, she telling me, 
of her own accord, that she was going as far as Charing 
Cross; but my boy was at the gate, and so I durst not go 
out with her. So to Lincoln’s Inn, where to Mr. Pedly, 
with whom I spoke, and did my business presently: and 
I find him a man of good language, and mighty civil, and 
I believe very upright: and so home, where W. Batelier 
was, and supped with us, and I did reckon this night what 
I owed him; and I do find that the things my wife, of her 
own head, hath taken, together with my own, which comes 
not to above 5l., comes to about 22/. But it is the last, 
and so I am the better contented; and they are things that 
are not trifles, but clothes, gloves, shoes, hoods, &c. So 
after supper, to bed. At church there was my Lord 
Brouncker and Mrs. Williams in our pew, the first time

they were ever there, or that I knew that either of them would — 
go to church. 

18th. Expecting to have this day seen Bab. and Betty 
Pepys here, but they come not; and so after dinner my 
wife and I to the Duke of York’s house, to a play, and there 
saw “The Mad Lover,” which do not please me so well as 
it used to do, only Betterton’s part still pleases me. But 
here who should we have come to us but Bab. and Betty 
and Talbot, the first play they were yet at; and going to 
see us, and hearing by my boy, whom I sent te them, that 
we were here, they come to us hither, and happened all of 
us to sit by my cozen Turner and The. We carried them 
home first, and then took Bab. and Betty to our house, where 
they lay and supped, and pretty merry, and very fine with 
their new clothes, and good comely girls they are enough, — 
and very glad I am of their being with us, though I would 
very well have been contented to be without the charge. So 
they to bed. 

19th. Up, and after seeing the girls, who lodged in our 
bed, with their maid Martha, who hath been their father’s 
maid these twenty years and more, I to the Office, while 
the young people went to see Bedlam. This morning, 
among other things, talking with Sir W. Coventry, I did 
propose to him by putting him to serve in Parliament, if there 
should, as the world begins to expect, be a new one chose: 
he likes it mightily, both for the King’s and Service’s sake, 
and the Duke of York’s, and will propound it to the Duke 
of York: and I confess, if there be one, I would be glad to 
be in. 

20th. After dinner with my wife and my two girls to the 
Duke of York’s house, and there saw “ The Gratefull Ser- 
vant,”’ a pretty good play, and which I have forgot that — 
ever I did see. And thence with them to Mrs. Grotier’s, the — 
Queen’s tire-woman, for a pair of locks for my wife; she is a 
oldish French woman, but with a pretty hand as most I have 
seen; and so home. 

21st. (Lord’s day.) With my wife and two girls to 
church, they very fine; and so home, where comes my cozen

Roger and his wife, I having sent for them, te dine with us, 
and there comes in by chance also Mr. Shepley, who is 
come to town with my Lady Paulina, who is desperately 
sick, and is gone to Chelsey, to the old house where my 
Lord himself was once sick, where I doubt my Lord means 
to visit her, more for young Mrs. Beck’s sake than for her’s. 
Here we dined with W. Batelier, and W. Hewer with us, 
these two girls making it necessary that they be always with 
us, for I am not company light enough to be always merry 
with them: and so sat talking all the afternoon, and then 
Shepley went away first, and then my cozen Roger and 
his wife, 

22d. After dinner, with my wife, in her morning-gown, 
and the two girls dressed, to Unthanke’s, where my wife 
dresses herself, haying her gown this day laced, and a new 
petticoat: and so is indeed very fine. In the evening to 
White Hall, and there did without much trouble get into 
the playhouse, finding a good place among the Ladies of 
Honour, and all of us sitting in the pit; and then by and by 
eame the King and Queen, and they began “ Bartholomew 
Fair.” But I like no play here so well as at the common 
playhouse; besides that, my eyes being very ill since last 
Sunday and this day se’nnight, I was in mighty pain to de- 
fend myself now from the light of the candles. After the play 
done, we met with VW. Batelier and W. Hewer and Talbot 
Pepys, and they followed us in a hackney-coach: and we all 
stopped at Hercules’ Pillars ;* and there I did give them the 
best supper I could, and pretty merry; and so home between 
eleyen and twelve at night. 
_ 28d. Up: and to the Office, where all the morning, and 
then home, and put a mouthfull of victuals in my mouth; 
and by a hackney-coach followed my wife and the girls, aoe 
are gone by eleven o’clock, thinking to have seen a new 
play at the Duke of York’s house. But I do find them 
staying at my tailor’s, the play not being to-day, and there- 
fore to Westminster Abbey, and there did see all the tombs 
very finely, having one with us alone, there being other 
company this day to see the tombs, it being Shrove Tuesday; 
and here we did see, by particular favour, the body of Queen 


+In Fleet Street; see 11th October, 1660. 


108 DIARY OF [24th Feb. 


Katherine of Valois; and I had the upper part of her body 
in my hands, and I did kiss her mouth, reflecting upon it 
that I did kiss a Queen, and that this was my birth-day, 
thirty-six years old, that I did kiss a Queen.* But here 
this man, who seems to understand well, tells me that the 
saying is not true that she was never buried, for she was 
buried; only, when Henry the Seventh built his chapel, 
she was taken up and laid in this wooden coffin; but I did 
there see that, in it, the body was buried in a leaden one, 
which remains under the body to this day. Thence to the 
Duke of York’s playhouse, and there finding the play begun, 
we homeward to the Glasshouse,” and there shewed my 
cozens the making of glass, and had several things made 
with great content; and, among others, I had one or two 
singing-glasses made, which make an echo to the voice, the 
first that ever I saw; but so thin, that the very breath 
broke one or two of them. Thence to Mr. Batelier’s, where 
we supped, and had a good supper, and here was Mr. 
Pembleton: and after supper some fiddles, and so to dance; 
but my eyes were so out of order, that I had little pleasure 
this night at all, though I was glad to see the rest merry. 
24th. I to the Office, and at night my wife sends for me 
to W. Hewer’s lodging, where I find two best chambers of 


1Pepys’s attachment to the fair sex extended even to a dead queen. 
The record of this royal salute on his natal day is very characteristic. 
The story told him in Westminster Abbey appears to have been correct; 
for Neale informs us (History of Westminster Abbey, vol. ii., p. 88) that 
near the south side of Henry the Fifth’s tomb, there was formerly a 
wooden chest, or coffin, wherein part of the skeleton and parched body 
of Katherine de Valois, his Queen, (from the waist upwards), was to be 
seen. She was interred in January, 1457, in the Chapel of our Lady, at 
the east end of this Church; but when that building was pulled down 
by her grandson, Henry the Seventh, her coffin was found to be decayed, 
and her body was taken up, and placed in a chest near her first husband’s 
tomb. “There,” says Dart, “it hath ever since continued to be seen, 
the bones being firmly united, and thinly clothed with flesh, like 
scrapings of tanned leather.” This awful spectacle of frail mortality 
was at length removed from the public gaze, into St. Nicholas’s Chapel, 
and finally deposited under the monument of Sir George Villiers, when 
the vault was made for the remains of Elizabeth Percy, Duchess of 
Northumberland, in December, 1776.

his so finely furnished, and all so rich and neat, that I was 
mightily pleased with him and them: and here only my 
wife, and I, and the two girls, and had a mighty neat dish 
of custards and tarts, and good drink and talk. And so 
away home to bed, with infinite content at this his treat; 
for it was mighty pretty, and every thing mighty rich. 

25th. To the Duke of York’s house, and there before one, 
but the house infinite full, where, by and by, the King and 
Court come, it being a new play, or an old one new vamped, 
by Shadwell, called “The Royall Shepherdesse;’’* but the 
silliest for words and design, and everything, that ever I 
saw in my whole life, there being nothing in the world 
pleasing in it, but a good martial dance of pikemen, where 
Harris and another do handle their pikes in a dance to 
admiration; but I was never less satisfied with a play in 
my life. 

26th. To the King’s playhouse, and saw “ The Faithfull 
Shepherdesse.” But, Lord! what an empty house, there not 
being, as I could tell the people, so many as to make up 
above 10/7. in the whole house! The being of a new play 
at the other house, I suppose, being the cause, though it 
be so silly a play that I wonder how there should be enough 
people to go thither two days together, and not leave 
more to fill this house. The emptiness of the house took 
away our pleasure a great deal, though I liked it the better; 
for I plainly discern the musick is the better, by how much 
the house the emptier. Thence home, and again to W. 
Hewer’s, and had a pretty little treat, and spent an hour 
or two, my voice being wholly taken away with my cold, 
and so home and to bed. 

28th. (Lord’s-day.) Up, and got my wife to read to me a 
copy of what the Surveyor offered to the Duke of York on 
Friday, he himself putting it into my hands to read; but, 
Lord! it is a poor, silly thing ever to think to bring it in 
practice, in the King’s Navy. It is to have the Captains 
to account for all stores and victuals; but upon so silly 
grounds, to my thinking, and ignorance of the present in- 
structions of Officers, that I am ashamed to hear it. How-

ever, I do take a copy of it, for my future use and answering; 
and so to church, where, God forgive me! I did most of the 
time gaze on the fine milliner’s wife, in Fenchurch Street, 
who was at our church to-day; and so home to dinner. 
After dinner to write down my Journall; and then abroad 
by coach with my cozens, to their father’s, where we are 
kindly received, but he is in great pain for his man Arthur, 
who, he fears, is now dead, having been desperate sick, and 
speaks so much of him that my cozen, his wife and I, did 
make mirth of it, and call him Arthur O’Bradly.* After 
staying here a little, and eat and drank, and she give me 
some gingerbread made in cakes, like chocolate, very good, 
made by a friend, I carried him and her to my cozen Turner’s, 
where we staid, expecting her coming from church; but she 
coming not, I went to her husband’s chamber in the Temple, 
and thence fetched her. After talking there a while, and 
agreeing to be all merry at my house on Tuesday next, I 
away home; and there spent the evening talking and reading, 
with my wife and Mr. Pelling. 

March ist. I do hear that my Lady Paulina Montagu 
did die yesterday; at which I went to my Lord’s lodgings, 
but he is shut up with sorrow, and so not to be spoken 
with: and therefore I returned, and to Westminster Hall, 
where I have not been, I think, in some months. And here 
the Hall was very full, the King having, by Commission to 
some Lords this day, prorogued the Parliament till the 
19th of October next: at which I am glad, hoping to have 
time to go over to France this year. But I was most of 
all surprised this morning by my Lord Belassis, who, by 
appointment, met me at Auditor Wood’s, at the Temple, 
and tells me of a duell designed between the Duke of Buck- 
ingham and my Lord Halifax, or Sir W. Coventry; the 
challenge being carried by Harry Saville, but prevented by 
my Lord Arlington, and the King told of it; and this was 
all the discourse at Court this day. But I, meeting Sir W. 
Coventry in the Duke of York’s chamber, he would not 
own it to me, but told me he was a man of too much peace 
to meddle with fighting, and so it rested: but the talk is

full in the town of the business. Thence, having walked 
some turns with my cozen Pepys, and most people, by their 
discourse, believing that this Parliament will never sit more, 
I away to several places to look after things against to- 
morrow’s’ feast, and so home to dinner; and thence, after 
noon, my wife and I out by hackney-coach, and spent the 
afternoon in several places, doing several things at the 
and elsewhere against to-morrow; and, among 
others, I did bring home a piece of my face cast in plaister, 
for to make a vizard upon, for my eyes. And so home, 
where W. Batelier come, and sat with us; and there, after 
many doubts, did resolve to go on with our feats and 
dancing to-morrow; and so, after supper, left the maids to 
make clean the house, and to lay the cloth, and other things 
against to-morrow, and so to bed. 
2d. Home, and there I find my company come, namely, 
Madam Turner, Dyke, The., and Betty Turner, and Mr. 
Bellwood, formerly their father’s clerk, but now set up 
for himself—a conceited, silly fellow, but one they make 
mightily of—my cozen Roger Pepys, and his wife, and two 
daughters. I had a noble dinner for them, as I almost ever 
had, and mighty merry, and particularly myself pleased 
with looking on Betty Turner, who is mighty pretty. After 
dinner, we fell one to one talk, and another to another, and 
looking over my house, and closet, and things; and The. 
Turner to write a letter to a lady in the country, in which 
I did, now and then, put in half-a-dozen words, and some- 
times five or six lines, and then she as much, and made up 
a long and good letter, she being mighty witty really, though 
troublesome-humoured with it. And thus till night, that 
our musick come, and the Office ready and candles, and alsq 
W. Batelier and his sister Susan come, and also Will. Howe 
and two gentlemen more, strangers, which, at my request 
yesterday, he did bring to dance, called Mr. Ireton and Mr. 
Starkey. We fell to dancing, and continued, only with in- 
termission for a good supper, till two in the morning, the 
musick being Greeting, and another most excellent violin, 
and theorbo, the best in town. And so with mighty mirth, 
and pleased with their dancing of jigs, afterwards several of 
them, and, among others, Betty Turner, who did it mighty

prettily ; and, lastly, W. Batelier’s “ Blackmore and Black- 
more Mad;” and then to a country-dance again, and so 
broke up with extraordinary pleasure, as being one of the 
days and nights of my life spent with the greatest content; 
and that which I can but hope to repeat again a few times 
in my whole life. This done, we parted, the strangers home, 
and I did lodge my cozen Pepys and his wife in our blue 
chamber. My cozen Turner, her sister, and The., in our 
best chamber; Bab., Betty, and Betty Turner, in our own 
chamber; and myself and my wife in the maid’s bed, which 
is very good. Our maids in the coachman’s bed; the 
coachman with the boy in his settle-bed,* and Tom where he 
uses to lic. And so I did, to my great content, lodge at 
once in my house, with the greatest ease, fifteen, and eight 
of them strangers of quality. My wife this day put on 
first her French gown, called a Sac,* which becomes her 
very well, brought her over by W. Batelier. 

3d. To my guests, and got them to breakfast, and then 
parted by coaches; and I did, in mine, carry my she-cozen 
Pepys and her daughters home, and there left them. To 
White Hall, where W. Hewer met me; and he and I took 
a turn in St. James’s Park, and in the Mall did meet Sir 
W. Coventry and Sir J. Duncomb, and did speak with them 
about some business before the Lords of the Treasury; but 
I did find them more than usually busy, though I knew not 
then the reason of it, but I guessed it by what followed 
next day. Thence to Dancre’s, the painter’s, and there saw 
my picture of Greenwich, finished to my very great content, 
though this manner of distemper do make the figures not 
so pleasing as in oyle. To the Duke of York’s playhouse, 
and there saw an old play, the first time acted these forty 
years, called “The Lady’s Tryall,”* acted only by the 
young people of the house; but the house very full. To 
the New Exchange, and so called at cozen Turner’s; and 
there, meeting Mr. Bellwood, did hear how my Lord 
Mayor,* being invited this day to dinner at the Reader’s at

the Temple, and endeavouring to carry his sword up,’ the 
students did pull it down, and forced him to go and stay all 
the day in a private Councillor’s chamber, until the Reader 
himself could get the young gentlemen to dinner; and then 
my Lord Mayor did retreat out of the Temple by stealth, 
with his sword up. This do make great heat among the 
students; and my Lord Mayor did send to the King, and 
also I hear that Sir Richard Browne did cause the drums 
to beat for the Train-bands;* but all is over, only I 
hear that the students do resolve to try the Charter of 
the City. So we home, and betimes to bed, and slept well 
all night. 

4th. To White Hall, where in the first court I did meet 
Sir Jeremy Smith, who did tell me that Sir W. Coventry 
was just now sent to the Tower, about the business of his 
challenging the Duke of Buckingham, and so was also 
Harry Saville® to the Gate-house ;* which, as he is a gentle 
man, and of the Duke of York’s bedchamber, I heard after- 


* As a symbol of his authority. 


?The only printed notice of this dispute occurs in Pearce’s History of 
the Inns of Court and Chancery, 8vo, 1848, p. 236:—* The Lord Mayor 
(Sir W. Turner) complained to the King, and on the 7th April, 
1669, the case was heard before his Majesty in council. The ring- 
leaders, Mr. Hodges, Mr. Wynn, and Mr. Monday, appeared at the 
Board, attended by Counsel, who were heard on their behalf. Upon 
consideration, it appearing to the King that the matter very much de- 
pended upon the right and privilege of bearing up the Lord Mayor’s 
sword within the Temple, which, by order of Council on the 24th 
March, in the same year, had been left to be decided by due course of 
law, his Majesty thought fit to suspend the declaration of his pleasure 
thereupon, until the said right and privilege should be determined 
at law.” Mr. Tyrrel, the City Remembrancer, has obligingly communi- 
cated the only two entries relating to the business, existing in the Cor- 
poration Records: ‘the first is an order, dated 23d March, 1668, for the 
Lord Mayor, Aldermen, &c., to attend the Council on the following 
day; and the other directs the Chamberlain to pay the Town Clerk 
231. 14s. 6d., by him disbursed for counsel, about the business of the 
Temple, &c. It would appear, the question remains unsettled to 
this day.

wards that the Duke of York is mightily incensed at it, and 
do appear very high to the King that he might not be sent 
thither, but to the Tower, this bemg done only in contempt 
to him. This news of Sir W. Coventry did strike me to 
the heart, and with this reason, for by this and my Lord of 
Ormond’s business, I do doubt that the Duke of Bucking- 
ham will be so flushed, that he will not stop at any thing, 
but be forced to do any thing now, as thinking it not safe 
to end here; and, Sir W. Coventry being gone, the King 
will have no good counsellor left, nor the Duke of York 
any sure friend to stick to him; nor any good man will re- 
main to advise what is good. This, therefore, do heartily 
trouble me as any thing that ever I heard. So up inte the 
House, and met with several people; but the Committee 
did not meet: and the whole House I find full of this busi- 
ness of Sir W. Coventry’s, and most men very sensible of 
the cause and effects of it. So, meeting with my Lord 
Bellassis, he told me the particulars of this matter; that it 
arises about a quarrel which Sir W. Coventry had with the 
Duke of Buckingham about a design between the Duke 
and Sir Robert Howard, to bring him into a play at the 
King’s house, which W. Coventry not enduring, did by H. 
Saville send a letter to the Duke of Buckingham, that he 
did desire to speak with him. Upon which, the Duke of 
Buckingham did bid Holmes, his champion ever since my 
Lord Shrewsbury’s business,’ go to him to do the business; 
but H. Saville would not tell it to any but himself, and 
therefore did go presently to the Duke of Buckingham, and 
told him that his uncle Coventry was a person of honour, 
and was sensible of his Grace’s liberty taken of abusing 
him, and that he had a desire of satisfaction, and would 
fight with him. But that here they were interrupted by 
my Lord Chamberlain’s coming in, who was commanded to 
go to bid the Duke of Buckingham to come to the King, 
Holmes having discovered it. He told me that the King 
did last night, at the Council, ask the Duke of Buckingham, 
upon his honour, whether he had received any challenge 
from W. Coventry? which he confessed that he had; and 
when the King, asking W. Coventry, he told him that he

1668-69] SAMUEL PEPYS 115 


did not owne what the Duke of Buckingham had said, 
though it was not fit for him to give him a direct contra- 
diction. But, being by the King put upon declaring the 
truth upon his honour, he answered that he had understood 
that many hard questions had upon this business been 
moved to some lawyers, and that therefore he was unwilling 
to declare any thing that might, from his own mouth, render 
him obnoxious to his Majesty’s displeasure, and, therefore, 
prayed to be exeused: which the King did think fit to 
interpret to be a confession, and so gave warrant that night 
for his commitment to the Tower. Bemg very much 
troubled at this, I away by coach homewards, and directly 
to the Tower, where I find him in one Mr. Bennet’s house, 
son to Major Bayly, one of the Officers of the Ordnance, 
in the Bricke Tower: where I find hin busy with my Lord 
Halifax and his brother; so I would not stay to interrupt 
them, but only to give him comfort, and offer my service to 
him, which he kindly and cheerfully received, only owning 
his being troubled for the King his master’s displeasure, 
which, I suppose, is the ordinary form and will of persons 
in this condition. And so I parted, with great content, 
that I had so earlily seen him there; and so going out, did 
meet Sir Jer. Smith going to meet me, who had newly been 
with Sir W. Coventry. And so-he and I by water to Red- 
riffe, and so walked to Deptford, where I have not been, I 
think, these twelve months: and there to the Treasurer’s 
house,” where the Duke of York is, and his Duchess; and 
there we find them at dinner in the great room, unhung; 
and there was with them my Lady Duchess of Monmouth, the 
Countess of Falmouth, Castlemaine, Henrietta Hide*® (my 
Lady Hinchinbroke’s sister), and my Lady Peterborough. 
And after dinner Sir Jer. Smith and I were invited down to 
dinner with some of the Maids of Honour, namely, Mrs. Ogle,*

great variety, and plenty of wines, more than I have drank, 
at once, these seven years, but yet did me no great hurt. 
Having dined very merrily, and understanding by Blancfort 
how angry the Duke of York was, about their offering to 
‘send Saville to the Gate-house among the rogues; and 
then, observing how this company, both the ladies and all, 
are of a gang, and did drink a health to the union of the 
two brothers, and talking of others as their enemies, they 
parted, and so we up; and there I did find the Duke of 
York and Duchess, with all the great ladies, sitting upon a 
- earpet, on the ground, there being no chairs, playing at “I 
love my love with an A, because he is so and so: and I 
hate him with an A, because of this and that:” and some 
of them, but particularly the Duchess herself, and my Lady 
Castlemaine, were very witty. This done, they took barge, 
and I with Sir J. Smith to Captain Cox’s; and there to 
talk, and left them and other company to drink; while I 
slunk out to Bagwell’s; and there saw her, and her mother, 
and our late maid Nell, who cried for joy to see me. So to 
Cox’s, and thence walked with Sir J. Smith back to Red- 
riffe; and so by water home, and there my wife mighty 
angry for my absence, and fell mightily out, but not being 
certain of any thing, but thinks only that Pierce or Knipp 
_was there, and did ask me, and, I perceive, the boy many ques- 
tions. But I did answer her; and so, after much ado, did 
go to bed, and lie quiet all night; but she had another bout 
with me in the morning, but I did make shift to quiet her, 
but yet she was not fully satisfied, poor wretch! in her 
mind, and thinks much of my taking so much pleasure 
without her; which, indeed, is a fault, though I did not 
design or foresee it when I went. 

5th. After dinner I to the Tower, where I find Sir W. 
Coventry with abundance of company with him: and after 
sitting awhile, and hearing some merry discourse, and, 
among others, of Mr. Brouncker’s being this day summoned 
to Sir William Morton,* one of the Judges, to give in security 
for his good behaviour, upon his words the other day to Sir 
John Morton,? a Parliament-man, at White Hall, who

had heretofore spoke very highly against Brouncker in the 
House, I away, and to Aldgate. Walked forward towards 
White Chapel, till my wife overtook me with the coach, it 
being a mighty fine afternoon; and there we went the first 
time out of town with our coach and horses, and went as 
far as Bow, the spring beginning a little now to appear, 
though the way be dirty; and so, with great pleasure, with 
the fore-part of our coach up, we spent the afternoon. And 
so in the evening home, and there busy at the Office awhile, 
and so to bed, mightily pleased with being at peace with 
my poor wife, and with the pleasure we may hope to have 
with our coach this summer, when the weather comes to be 
good. 

6th. Before the Office, I stepped to Sir W. Coventry at 
the Tower, and there had a great deal of discourse with 
him; among others, of the King’s putting him out of the 
Council yesterday, with which he is well contented, as with 
what else they can strip him of, he telling me, and so hath 
long done, that he is weary and surfeited of business; but 
he joins with me in his fears that all will go to naught, as 
matters are now managed. He told me the matter of the 
play that was intended for his abuse, wherein they foolishly 
and sillily bring in two tables ike that which he hath made, 
with a round hole in the middle, in his closet, to turn him- 
self in;* and he is to be in one of them as master, and Sir 
J. Duncomb in the other, as his man or imitator: and their 
discourse in those tables, about the disposing of their books 
and papers, very foolish. But that, that he is offended with, 
is his being made so contemptible, as that amy should dare 
to make a gentleman a subject for the mirth of the world; 
and that therefore he had told Tom Killigrew that he should 
tell his actors, whoever they were, that did offer at any 
thing like representing him, that he would not complain to 
my Lord Chamberlain, which was too weak, nor get him 
beaten, as Sir Charles Sedley is said to have done, but that 
he would cause his nose to be eut.? He told me how that 


baronet of his family, then serving as burgess for Poole, and afterwards 
for Melcombe Regis. He died in 1698: et. 71, M. I.

the Duke of Buckingham did himself, some time since, de- 
sire to join with him, cf all men in England, and did bid 
him propound to himself to be Chief Minister of State, 
saying that he would bring it about, but that he refused to 
have anything to do with any faction; and that the Duke 
of Buckingham did, within these few days, say that, of all 
men in England, he would have chosen Sir W. Coventry to 
have jomed entire with. He tells me that he fears their 
prevailing against the Duke of York; and that their vio- 
lence will force them to it, as being already beyond his 
pardon. He repeated to me many examples of challenging 
Privy-Councillors and others: but never any proceeded 
against with that severity which he is, it never amounting 
with others to more than a little confinement. THe tells me 
of his being weary of the Treasury, and of the folly, am- 
bition, and desire of popularity of Sir Thomas Clifford; 
and yet the rudeness of his tongue and passions when 
angry. ‘This day my wife made it appear to me that my 
late entertainment this week cost me above 12/., an expence 
which I am almost ashamed of, though it is but once m a 
great while, and is the end for which, in the most part, 
we live, to have such a merry day once or twice in a man’s 
life. 

7th. (Lord’s day.) To the Tower, to see Sir W. Coventry, 
who had H. Jermin and a great many more with him, and 
more, while I was there, came in; so that I do hear that 
there was not less than sixty coaches there yesterday, and 
the other day; which I hear also that there is a great ex- 
ception taken at, by the King and the Duke of Buckingham, 
but it cannot be helped. To Suffolk Street, to see my 
cozen Pepys, but neither the old nor young at home. I to 
White Hall, and there hear that there are letters come 
from Sir Thomas Allen, that he hath made some kind of 
peace with Algiers; upon which the King and the Duke of 
York, being to go out of town to-morrow, are met at my 
- Lord Arlington’s: so I there, and by Mr. Wren was desired 


station entertaining so cowardly a mode of revenging himself; and it is 
very remarkable that, m little more tham a year afterwards, his own 
nephew, Sir John Coventry, was maimed im the very same way, his 
nose having been slit to the bone by a party of assassins hired for the 
purpose: see note to 27th July, 1667.

to stay to see if there were occasion for their speaking with 
me, which I did, walking without, with Charles Porter,* 
talking of a great many things: and I perceive all the world 
is against the Duke of Buckingham’s acting thus high, and 
do prophesy nothing but ruin from it. But he do well ob- 
serve that the church lands cannot certainly come to much, 
if the King shall be persuaded to take them, they being 
leased out for long leases. By and by, after two hours’ stay, 
the Council rose, having, as Wren tells me, resolved upon 
sending six ships to the Streights forthwith, not being con- 
tented with the peace upon the terms they demand; which 
are, that all our ships, where any Turks or Moores shall be 
found slaves, shall be prizes; which will imply that they must 
be searched. I hear that tomorrow the King and the Duke 
of York set out for Newmarket, by three in the morning, to 


*“Charles Porter was the son of a prebendary in Norwich, and a 
*prentice boy in the city in the rebellious times. When the committee 
house was blown up, he was very active in that rising, and after the 
soldiers came and dispersed the rout, he, as a rat among joint stools, 
shifted to and fro among the shambles, and had forty pistols shot at 
him by the troopers that rode after him to kill him. In that distress 
he had the presence of mind to catch up a little child that, during the 
rout, was frighted, and stood crying in the streets, and unobserved by 
the troopers, ran away with it. The people opened a way for him, say- 
ing ‘Make room for the poor child.’ Thus he got off, and while search 
was made for him in the market-place, got into a Yarmouth ferry, took 
ship and went to Holland. Here he trailed a pike, and was in several 
actions as a common soldier. At length he kept a cavalier eating- 
house; but, his customers being needy, he soon broke, and came for 
England, and being a genteel youth, was taken in among the chancery 
clerks, and got to be under a master. His industry was great; and he 
had an acquired dexterity and skill in the forms of court; and although 
he was a bon companion, and followed much the bottle, yet he made 
such despatches as satisfied his clients, especially the clerks, who 
knew where to find him. His person was florid, and speech prompt 
and articulate. But his vices, in the way of women and the bottle, were 
so ungoverned, as brought him to a morsel. At.the Revolution, when 
his interest fell from, and his debts began to fall upon him, he was at 
his wits’ end. And some, knowing his case, and pitying him (for he 
was indeed a very honest fellow), recommended him as a man fit to be 
Lord Chancellor of Ireland, and, accordingly, he was knighted, and 


sent over. There he lived some years, and in that place concluded his © 


days little better than an insolvent. His character for fidelity, loyalty, 
and facetious conversation, was remarkable.’—Roger North’s Lives of 
the Hon, Francis North, &c.

some foot and horse-races, to be abroad ten or twelve days. 
So I away, without seeing the Duke of York; but Mr. 
Wren showed me the order of Council about the balancing 
the Storekeeper’s accounts, which passed the Council in the 
very terms I drew it, only I did put in my name as he 
that presented the book of Hosier’s preparing, and that is 
left out—I mean, my name—which is no great matter. 

8th. To White Hall, from whence the King and the Duke 
of York went by three in the morning, and had the misfor- 
tune to be overset with the Duke of York, the Duke of 
Monmouth and the Prince,’ at the King’s Gate® in Hol- 
borne; and the King all dirty, but no hurt. How it come 
to pass I know not, but only it was dark, and the torches 
did not, they say, light the coach as they should do. I 
thought this morning to have seen my Lord Sandwich before 
he went out of town, but I came half an hour too late; which 
troubles me, I having not seen him since my Lady Pall® 
died. W. Hewer and I to the Harp-and-Ball, to drink my 
morning draught; and there met with King, the Parliament- 
man, with whom I had some impertinent talk. And so to 
the Privy Seal Office, to examine what records I could find 
there, for my help in the great business I am put upon, of 
defending the present constitution of the Navy; but there 
could not have liberty without order from him that is in 
present waiting, Mr. Bickerstaffe, who is out of town. Met 
Mr. Moore, and I find him the same discontented poor man 
as ever. He tells me that Mr. Shepley is upon being turned 
away from my Lord’s family, and another sent down, which 
I am sorry for; but his age and good fellowship have almost 
made him fit for nothing. With my wife to the King’s 
playhouse, and there saw “The Mocke Astrologer,” which 
I have often seen, and but an ordinary play; and so to my 
cozen Turner’s, where we met Roger Pepys, his wife and 


+ Rupert.

two daughters, and then home. There my wife to read to 
me, my eyes being sensibly hurt by the two great lights of 
the playhouse. 

9th. Up, and to the Tower; and there find Sir W. Coventry 
alone, writing down his Journal, which, he tells me, he now 
keeps of the material things; upon which I told him, and 
he is the only man I ever told it to, I think, that I kept it 
most strictly these eight or ten years; and I am sorry 
almost that I told it him, it not being necessary, nor may be 
convenient, to have it known. Here he showed me the 
petition he hath sent to the King by my Lord Keeper, 
which was not to desire any admittance to employment, but 
submitting himself therein humbly to his Majesty; but 
prayed the removal of his displeasure, and that he might 
be set free. He tells me that my Lord Keeper did acquaint 
the King with the substance of it, not showing him the 
petition; who answered that he was disposing of his em- 
ployments, and when that was done, he might be led to dis- 
charge him: and this is what he expects, and what he seems 
to desire. But by this discourse he was pleased to take oe- 
casion to show me and read to me his account, which he 
hath kept by him under his own hand, of all his discourse, 
and the King’s answers to him, upon the great business of 
my Lord Clarendon, and how he had first moved the Duke 
of York with it twice, at good distance, one after another, 
but without success; showing me thereby the simplicity 
and reasons of his so doing, and the manner of it; and the 
King’s accepting it, telling him that he was not satisfied 
in his management, and did discover some dissatisfaction 
against him for his opposing the laying aside of my Lord 
Treasurer, at Oxford, which was a secret the King had not 
discovered. And really I was mighty proud to be privy to 
this great transaction, it giving me great conviction of the 
noble nature and ends of Sir W. Coventry in it, and con- 
siderations in general of the consequences of great men’s 
actions, and the uncertainty of their estates, and other very 
serious considerations. To the Office, where we sat all the 
morning, and after dinner by coach to my cozen Turner’s, 
thinking to have taken up the young ladies; but The. was 
let blood to-day; and so my wife and I towards the rm 
playhouse, and by the way found Betty Turner, and Bab.,

and Betty Pepys staying for us; and so took them all to see 
 Claricilla,” which do not please me almost at all, though there 
are some good things in it. And so to my cozen Turner’s, 
and there find my Lady Mordaunt, and her sister Johnson ;* 
and by and by comes in a gentleman, Mr. Overbury, a 
pleasant man, who plays most excellently on the flagelette, 
a little one, that sounded as low as one of mine, and mighty 
pretty. Hence with my wife, and Bab., and Betty Pepys, 
and W. Hewer, whom I carried all this day with me, to my 
cozen Stradwick’s, where I have not been ever since my 
brother Tom died, there being some difference between my 
father and them, upon the account of my cozen Scott; and 
I glad of this opportunity of seeing them, they being good 
and substantial people, and kind. Here met my cozen 
Roger and his wife, and my cozen Turner, and here, which 

I never did before, I drank a glass, of a pint, I believe, at 
one draught, of the juice of oranges, of whose peel they 
make comfits; and here they drink the juice as wine, with 
sugar, and it is very fine drink; but it being new, I was 
doubtful whether it might not do me hurt. Having staid 
awhile, my wife and I back, with my cozen Turner, &c., to 
her house. There we took our leaves of my cozen Pepys, 
who goes with his wife and two daughters for Impington to- 
morrow. They are very good people, and people I love, and 
am obliged to, and shall have great pleasure in their friend- 
ship, and particularly in hers, she being an understanding and 
good woman. 

10th. By hackney-coach to Auditor Beal’s Office, in 
Holborne, to look for records of the Navy, but he was out 
_ of the way, and so forced to go next to White Hall, to the 
Privy Seal; and, after staying a little there, then to West- 
minster, where, at the Exchequer, I met with Mr. Newport 
and Major Halsey; and, after doing a little business with 
Mr. Burges, we by water to White Hall, where I made a 
little stop: and so with them by coach to Temple Bar, 
_ where, at the Sugar Loaf, we dined; and there comes a 
companion of theirs, Colonel Vernon, I think, they called 
him; a merry good fellow, and one that was very plain in 
cursing the Duke of Buckingham, and discoursing of his 
designs to ruin us, and that ruin must follow his counsels,

and that we are an undone people. To which the others 
concurred, but not so plain, but all vexed at Sir W. 
Coventry’s being laid aside: but Vernon is concerned, I 
perceive, for my Lord Ormond’s being laid aside: but their 
company, being all old cavaliers, were very pleasant to hear 
how they swear and talk. But Halsey, to my content, tells 
me that my Lord Duke of Albemarle says that W. Coventry 
being gone, nothing will be well done at the Treasury, and 
I believe it; but they do all talk as that Duncomb, upon 
some pretence or other, must follow him. We by water 
home, and there I find my cozen Turner and her two daugh- 
ters come to see us; and there, after talking a little, I had 
my coach ready, and they going home, my wife and I out 
to Whitechapel to take a little ayre, though yet the dirti- 
ness of the road do prevent most of the pleasure, which we 
hoped to have from this tour. So home, and my wife to 
read to me till supper, and to bed. 

11th. Up, and to Sir W. Coventry, to the Tower: who 
tells me that he hears that the Commission is gone down to 
the King, with a blank to fill, for his place in the Treasury: 
and he believes it will be filled with one of our Treasurers of 
the Navy, but which he knows not, but he believes it will 
be Osborne. We walked down to the Stone Walk, which 
is called, it seems, my Lord of Northumberland’s walk,’ 
being paved by some one of that title, that was prisoner 
there: and at the end of it, there is a piece of iron upon 
the wall, with his armes upon it, and holes to put in a peg, 
for every turn they make upon that walk. So away to the 
Office, where busy all the morning, and so to dinner, and so 
very busy all the afternoon, at my Office late; and then 
home tired, to supper, with content, with my wife, and so 
to bed, she pleasing me, though I dare not own it, that she 
hath hired a chambermaid: but she, after many commen- 
dations, told me that she had one great fault, and that was, 
that she was very handsome, at which I made nothing, but 
let her go on; but many times to-night she took occasion 
to discourse of her handsomeness, and the danger she was 


No trace of this is to be found in Bayley’s History of the Tower.

in, by taking her, and that she did doubt yet whether it 
would be fit for her, to take her. But I did assure her of 
my resolution to have nothing to do with her maids, though 
in myself I was glad to have the content to have a hand- 
some one to look on. 

12th. With great content spent all the morning looking 
over the Navy accounts of several years, and the several 
patents of the Treasurers. W. Hewer and myself towards 
Westminster; and there he carried me to Nott’s, the famous 
bookbinder, that bound for my Lord Chancellor’s library: 
and here I did take occasion for curiosity to bespeak a book 
to be bound, only that I might have one of his binding. To 
Graye’s Inne: and, at the next door, at a cook-shop of 
Howe’s acquaintance, we bespoke dinner, it being now two 
-o’clock; and in the meantime he carried us into Graye’s 
Inne, to his chamber, where I never was before; and it is 
very pretty, and little, and neat, as he was always. And so, 
after a little stay, and looking over a book or two there, we 
carried a piece of my Lord Coke’ with us, and to our 
dinner, where, after dinner, he read at my desire a chapter 
in my Lord Coke about perjury, wherein I did learn a good 
deal touching oaths, and so away to the Patent Office,” in 
Chancery Lane, where his brother Jacke, being newly broke 
by running in debt, and growing an idle rogue, he is forced 
to hide himself; and W. Howe do look after the Office. 
Here I did set a clerk to look out some things for me in 
their books, while W. Hewer and I to the Crowne Office,* 
where we met with several good things that I most wanted, 
and did take short notes of the dockets, and so back to the 
Patent Office, and did the like there, and by candle-light 
ended. And so home, where, thinking to meet my wife 
with content, after my pains all this day, I find her in her 
closet, alone, in the dark, in a hot fit of railing against 
me: but, what with my high words, and slighting, I did at 
last bring her to very good and kind terms, poor heart! 

13th. Up; and to the Tower, to see Sir W. Coventry, 
and with him talking of business of the Navy, all alone, an 
hour, he taking physic. And so away to the Office, where 
all the morning, and then home to dinner, with my people,

and so to the Office again, and there all the afternoon till 
night, when comes, by mistake, my cozen Turner and her 
two daughters, which love such freaks, to eat some anchovies 
and ham of bacon with me, instead of noon, at dinner, when 
I expected them. But, however, I had done my business 
before they come, and so was in good humour enough to be 
with them, and so home to them to supper, being pleased to 
see Betty Turner, which hath something mighty pretty. 
But that which put me in good humour, both at noon and 
night, is the fancy that I am this day made a Captain of 
one of the King’s ships, Mr. Wren having this day sent me 
the Duke of York’s commission to be Captain of “The 
Jerzy,” in order to my being of a Court-martiall for exa- 
mining the loss of “The Defyance,”’ and other things; 
which do give me occasion of much mirth, and may be of 
some use to me, at least I shall get a little money for the 
time I have it; it being designed that I must really be a 
Captain to be able to sit in this Court. They staid tll 
about eight at night, and then away, and my wife to read to 
me, and then to bed in mighty good humour, but for my 
eyes. 

14th. (Lord’s day.) With my wife to church, where we 
heard a most excellent good sermon of Mr. Gifford’s,* upon 
the righteousness of Scribes and Pharisees. 

15th. Up, and by water with W. Hewer to the Temple; 
and thence to the Rolls, where I made enquiry for several 
rolls, and was soon informed of the manner of it: and so 
spent the whole morning with W. Hewer, he taking little 
notes in short-hand, while I hired a clerk there to read to 
me about twelve or more several rolls which I did call for: 
and it was great pleasure to me to see the method wherein 
their rolls are kept; that when the Master of the Office, one 
Mr. Case, do call for them, who is a man that I have here- 
tofore known by coming to my Lord of Sandwich’s, he did 
most readily turn to them. At noon they shut up; and 
W. Hewer and I did walk to the Cocke,” at the end of Suf- 
_ folke Street, where I never was, a great ordinary, mightily

cried up, and there bespoke a pullet; which while dressing, 
he and I walked into St. James’s Park, and thence back, 
and dined very handsome, with a good soup, and a pullet, 
for 4s. 6d. the whole. Thence back to the Rolls, and did a 
little more business: and so by water to White Hall, 
whither I went to speak with Mr. Williamson, that if he 
hath any papers relating to the Navy I might see them, 
which he promises me: and so by water home, with great 
content for what I have this day found, having got almost 
as much as I desire of the history of the Navy, from 1618 
to 1642, when the King and Parliament fell out. 

16th. Visited Sir W. Coventry at the Tower, and walked 
with him upon the Stone Walk, alone, till other company 
come to him, and had very good discourse with him. My 
wife and Jane gone abroad, and Tom, in order to their buy- 
ing of things for their wedding, which, upon my discourse 
last night, is now resolved to be done, upon the 26th of this 
month, the day of my solemnity for my cutting of the stone, 
when my cozen Turner must be with us. My wife, there- 
fore, not at dinner; and comes to me Mr. Evelyn of Dept- 
ford, a worthy good man, and dined with me, but a bad din- 
ner; who is grieved for, and speaks openly to me his 
thoughts of, the times, and our ruin approaching; and all 
by the folly of the King. His business to me was about 
some ground of his, at Deptford,* next to the King’s yard. 
and after dinner we parted. To Woolwich, where I saw, 
but did not go on board, my ship “‘ The Jerzy,” she lying at 
the wharf under repair. But my business was to speak with 
Ackworth, about some old things and passages in the Navy, 
for my information therein, in order to my great business 
now of stating the history of the Navy. This I did; and 
upon the whole do find that the late times, in all their 
management, were not more husbandly than we; and other 
things of good content to me. Thence to Greenwich by 
water, and there landed at the King’s house,’ which goes

on slow, but is very pretty. I to the Park, there to see the 
prospect of the hill, to judge of Dancre’s picture, which he 
hath made thereof for me: and I do like it very well: and 
it is a very pretty place. Thence to Deptford, but staid not, 
Unthwayte being out of the way: and so home, and then 
to the King’s Tavern, Morrice’s, and staid till W. Hewer 
fetched his uncle Blackburne by appointment to me, to dis- 
course of the business of the Navy in the late times; and 
he did do it, by giving me a most exact account in writing, 
of the several turns in the Admiralty and Navy, and of the 
persons employed therein, from the beginning of the King’s 
leaving the Parliament, to his Son’s coming in, to my great 
content; and now I am fully informed in all I at present 
desire. We fell to other talk; and I find by him that the 
Bishops must certainly fall, and their hierarchy; these 
people’ have got so much ground upon the King and king- 
dom as is not to be got again from them: and the Bishops 
do well deserve it. But it is all the talk, I find, that Dr. 
Wilkins, my friend, the Bishop of Chester, shall be removed 
to Winchester, and be Lord Treasurer.” Though this be 
foolish talk, yet I do gather that he is a mighty rising man, 
as being a Latitudinarian, and the Duke of Buckingham his 
great friend. 

17th. Up, and by water to see Mr. Wren, and then Mr. 
Williamson, who did shew me the very original bookes of 
propositions made by the Commissioners for the Navy, in 
1618, to my great content; but no other Navy papers he 
could now shew me. Home, and took my wife by a hack- 
ney to the King’s playhouse, and saw “ The Coxcomb,’” the 
first time acted, but an old play, and a silly one, being acted 
only by the young people. 

18th. Up, and to see Sir W. Coventry, and walked with 
him a good while in the Stone Walk: and brave discourse 
about my Lord Chancellor, and his ill managements and 


Naval Hospital; and it has been repeatedly enlarged and improved, till — 
it has arrived at its present splendour.

mistakes and several things of the Navy. Home to dinner, 
where my wife mighty finely dressed, by a maid that she 
hath taken, and is to come to her when Jane goes; and the 
same she the other day told me of, to be so handsome. I 
therefore longed to see her, but did not till after dinner, 
that my wife and I going by coach, she went with us to 
Holborne, where we set her down. She is a mighty 
_ proper maid, and pretty comely, but so so; but hath a 
most pleasing tone of voice, and speaks handsomely, but 
hath most great hands, and I believe ugly; but very well 
dressed, and good clothes, and that otherwise I believe will 
please me well enough. Thence to visit Ned Pickering and 
his lady, and Creed and his wife, but the former abroad, 
and the latter out of town, gone to my Lady Pickering’s, 
in Northamptonshire, upon occasion of the late death of 
their brother, Oliver Pickering, a youth, that is dead of 
the smallpox. So my wife and I to Dancre’s to see the 
pictures; and thence to Hyde Park, the first time we were 
there this year, or ever, in our own coach, where with 
mighty pride rode up and down, and many coaches there; 
and I thought our horses and coach as pretty as any there, 
and observed so to be by others.* Here staid till night, and 
so home. 

19th. Sir Thomas Clifford did speak to me, as desirous 
that I would some time come and confer with him, about 
the Navy, which I am glad of, but will take the direction 
of the Duke of York before I do it, though I would be glad 
to do something to secure myself, if I could, in my employ- 
ment. Thence to the plaisterer’s, and took my face, and my 
Lord Duke of Albemarle’s, home with me by coach, they 
being done to my mind; and mighty glad I am of under- 
standing this way of having the pictures of any friends. 
After dinner, with Commissioner Middleton and Kemp- 
thorne,” to a Court-martiall, to which, by virtue of my late 
Captainship, I am called, the first I was ever at; where 
many Commanders, and Kempthorne president. Here was

tried a difference between Sir L. Van Hemskirke,* the Dutch 
Captain who commands “The Nonsuch,” built by his di- 
rection, and his Lieutenant; a drunken kind of silly busi- 
ness. We ordered the Lieutenant to ask him pardon, and 
have resolved to lay before the Duke of York what concerns 
the Captain, which was striking of his Lieutenant and chal- 
lenging him to fight, which comes not within any article of 
the laws martiall. But upon discourse the other day with 
Sir W. Coventry, I did advise Middleton, and he and I did 
forbear to give judgment, but after the debate did withdraw 
into another cabin, the Court being held in one of the 
yachts, which was on purpose brought up over against St. 
Katharine’s, it being to be feared that this precedent of our 
being made Captains, in order to the trying of the loss of 
“The Defyance,” wherein we are the proper persons to en- 
quire into the want of instructions while ships do lie in 
harbour, might be hereafter made of evil use, by putting 
the Duke of Buckingham, or any of. these rude fellows that 
now are uppermost, to make packed Courts, by Captains 
made on purpose to serve their turns. The other cause was 
of the loss of “The Providence” at Tangier, where the 
Captain’s being by chance on shore may prove very incon- 
venient to him, for example’s sake, though the man be a 
good man, and one whom, for Norwood’s sake, I would be 
kind to; but I will not offer any thing to the excusing 
such a miscarriage. He is at present confined, till he can 
bring better proofs on his behalf, of the reasons of his being 
on shore. So Middleton and I away to the Office; and 
there I late busy, making my people, as I have done lately, 
to read Mr. Holland’s? “ Discourse of the Navy,” and what 
other things I can get to inform me fully in all; and here 
late, about eight at night, comes Mr. Wren to me, who had

been at the Tower to visit Sir W. Coventry. He came 
only to see how matters go, and tells me, as a secret, that 
last night the Duke of York’s closet was broken open, and 
his cabinets, and shut again, one of them: that the rogue 
that did it hath left plate and a watch behind him, and 
therefore they fear that it was only for papers, which looks 
like a very malicious business in design, to hurt the Duke 
of York; but they cannot know that, till the Duke of York 
comes to town about the papers, and therefore make no 
words of it. He gone, I to work again, and then to supper 
at home, and to bed. 

20th. Up, and to the Tower, to Sir W. Coventry, and 
there walked with him alone, on the Stone Walk, till com- 
pany came to him; and there about the business of the Navy 
discoursed with him, and about my Lord Chancellor and 
Treasurer; that they were against the war with the Dutch 
at first, declaring, as wise men and statesmen, at first to the 
King, that they thought it fit to have a war with them at 
some time or other, but that it ought not to be till we found 
the Crowns of Spain and France together by the eares, the 
want of which did ruin our war. But then he told me that, 
a great while before the war, my Lord Chancellor did speak 
of a war with some heat, as a thing to be desired, and did 
it upon a belief that he could with his own speeches make 
the Parliament give what money he pleased, and do what he 
would, or would make the King desire; but he found him- 
self soon deceived of the Parliament, they having a long 
time before his removal been cloyed with his speeches and 
good words, and being come to hate him. Sir W. Coventry 
did tell me it, as the wisest thing that ever was said to the 
King by any statesman of his time, and it was by my Lord 
Treasurer that is dead, whom, I find, he takes for a very 
great statesman—that when the King did show himself for- 
_ ward for passing the Act of Indemnity, he did advise the 
_ King that he would hold his hand in doing it, till he had 
got his power restored, that had been diminished by the 
late times, and his revenue settled in such a manner as he 
might depend on himself, without resting upon Parliaments, 
and then pass it. But my Lord Chancellor, who thought 
he could have the command of Parliaments for ever, be- 
cause for the King’s sake they were awhile willing to

grant all the King desired, did press for its being done; 
and so it was, and the King from that time able to do 
nothing with the Parliament almost. Mightily pleased 
with the news brought me to-night, that the King and Duke 
of York are come back this afternoon, and no sooner come, 
but a warrant was sent to the Tower for the releasing Sir 
W. Coventry; which do put me in some hopes that there 
may be, in his absence, some accommodation made between 
the Duke of York and the Duke of Buckingham and Lord 
Arlington. 

Qlst. (Lord’s day.) By water over to Southwarke; and 
then, not getting a boat, I forced to walk to Stangate;* and 
so over to White Hall, in a scull; where to the Duke of 
York’s dressing-room, and there met Harry Saville, and do 
understand that Sir W. Coventry is come to his house last 
night. I understand by Mr. Wren that his friends having, 
by Secretary Trevor and my Lord Keeper, applied to the 
King, upon his first coming home, and a promise made that 
he should be discharged this day, my Lord Arlington did 
anticipate them, by sending a warrant presently for his dis- 
charge, which looks a little like kindness, or a desire of it; 
which God send! though I fear the contrary: however, my 
heart is glad that he is out. Thence up and down the 
House. Met Mr. May,’ who tells me the story of his being 
put by Sir John Denham’s place, of Surveyor of the King’s 
Works, who, it seems, is lately dead, by the unkindness of 
the Duke of Buckingham, who hath brought in Dr. Wren:* 
though, he tells me, he hath been his servant for twenty 
years together, in all his wants and dangers, saving him 
from want of bread by his care and management, and with 
a promise of having his help in his advancement, and an . 
engagement under his hand for 1000/1. not yet paid, and yet 
the Duke of Buckingham is so ungrateful as to put him 
by: which is an ill thing, though Dr. Wren is a worthy man. 
But he tells me that the King is kind to him, and hath pro- 
mised him a pension of 300]. a-year out of the Works; 
which will be of more content to him than the place, which, 
under their present wants of money, is a place that dis- 
obliges most people, being not able to do what they desire 
to their lodgings. Here meeting with Sir H. Cholmly and

Povy, they tell me that my Lord Middleton is resolved 
in the Cabal that he shall not go to Tangier; and that Sir 
Edward Harlow [ Harley ],* whom I know not, is propounded 
to go, who was Governor of Dunkirke, and, they say, a most 
worthy brave man, which I shall be very glad of. W. Howe 
comes to dine with me; and after dinner propounds to me 
my lending him 500/., to help him to purchase a place—the 
Master of the Patent Office, of Sir Richard Piggott. I did 
give him a civil answer, but shall think twice of it; and the 
more, because of the changes we are like to have in the 
Navy, which will make it fit for me to divide the little I have 
left more than I have done, God knowing what my condition 
is, { having not attended, and now not being able to examine 
what my state is,of my accounts, and being in the world, which 
troubles me mightily. News lately come of the Algerines 
taking 13,000/. in money, out of one of our Company’s East 
India ships, outward bound, which will certainly make the 
war last; which I am sorry for, being so poor as we are, 
and broken in pieces. Pelling comes to see and sup with 
us, and I find that he is assisting my wife in getting a 
licence to our young people’ to be married this Lent,’ which 
is resolved shall be done upon Friday next, my great day, or 
feast, for my being cut of the stone. 

22d. Up, and by water, with W. Hewer, to White Hall, 
there to attend the Lords of the Treasury; but, before they 
sat, I did make a step to see Sir W. Coventry at his house, 
where, I bless God! he is come again; but in my way I 
met him, and so he took me into his coach and carried me 
to White Hall, and there set me down where he ought not 
—at least, he hath not yet leave to come, nor hath thought 
fit yet to ask it, hearing that Henry Saville is not only 
denied to kiss the King’s hand, but the King, being asked 
it by the Duke of York, did deny it, and directed that the 
Duke shall not receive him, to wait upon him in his. cham- 
_mer, till further orders. Sir W. Coventry told me that he: 
_ was going to visit Sir John Trevor, who hath been kind to

seemly, it is a vulgar error to suppose that a licence is required to 
solemnize them at that season. See Johnson’s Clergyman’s Vade-Mecum,

him; and he showed me a long list of all his friends that 
he must this week make visits to, that came to visit him in 
the Tower; and seems mighty well satisfied at his being out 
of business, but I hope he will not long be so; at least, I 
do believe that all must go to rack, if the King do not come 
to see the want of such a servant. Thence to the Treasury- 
Chamber, and there all the morning, to my great grief, put 
to do Sir G. Downing’s work of dividing the Customes for 
this year, between the Navy, the Ordnance, and Tangier: 
but it did so trouble my eyes, that I had rather have given 
201. than have had it to do; but I did thereby oblige Sir 
Thomas Clifford and Sir J. Duncombe, and so am glad of 
the opportunity to recommend myself to the former, for 
the latter I need not, he loving me well already. At it till 
noon, here being several of my brethren with me, but doing 
nothing, but I all. But this day I did also represent to our 
Treasurers, which we read here, a state of the charge of the 
Navy, and what the expence of it this year would likely be; 
which is done so as it will appear well done, and to my 
honour, for so the Lords did take it: and I oblige the Trea- 
surers by doing it, at their request. With W. Hewer at 
noon to Unthanke’s, where my wife stays for me; and so to 
the Cocke, where there was no room, and thence to King 
Street, to several cook’s shops, where nothing to be had; 
and at last to the corner shop, going down Ivy Lane, by my 
Lord of Salisbury’s,* and there got a good dinner, my wife, 
and W. Hewer, and I; and after dinner she, with her coach, 
home; and he and I to look over my papers for the East 
India Company, against the afternoon: which done, I with 
them to White Hall, and there to the Treasury-Chamber, 
where the East India Company and three Councillors 
pleaded against me alone, for three or four hours, till 
seven at night, before the Lords; and the Lords did give 
me the conquest on behalf of the King, but could not 
come to any conclusion, the Company being stiff: and so 
I think we shall go to law with them. This done, and my

eyes mighty bad with this day’s work, I to Mr. Wren’s, 
and then up to the Duke of York, and there with Mr. 
Wren did propound to him my going to Chatham to- 
morrow with Commissioner Middléton, and so this week 
to make the pay there, and examine the business of 
“The Defyance” being lost, and other businesses, which 
I did the rather, that I might be out of the way, at 
the wedding,” and be at a little liberty myself for a 
day or two, to find a little pleasure, and give my 
eyes a little ease. The Duke of York mightily satis- 
fied with it; and so away home, where my wife troubled 
at my being so late abroad, poor woman! though never 
more busy, but I satisfied her; and so begun to put things 
in order for my journey to-morrow, and so after supper, to 
bed. 

23d. I took coach with Commissioner Middleton, Captain 
Tinker, and Mr. Huchinson, and out towards Chatham, and 
dined at Dartford, where we staid an hour or two, it being 
a cold day; and so on, and got to Chatham just at night, 
with very good discourse by the way, but mostly of matters 
of religion, wherein Huchinson his vein lies. After sup- 
per, we fell to talk of spirits and apparitions, whereupon 
many pretty, particular stories were told, so as to make me 
almost afraid to be alone, but for shame I could not help it; 
and so to bed; and, being sleepy, fell soon to rest, and so 
rested well. 

24th. To the Hill-house, and there did give order for 
a coach to be made ready; and got Mr. Gibson, whom 
I carried with me, to go with me and Mr. Coney, the 
surgeon, towards Maydstone, which I had a mighty mind 
to see, and took occasion, in my way, at St. Margett’s, 
to pretend to call to see Captain Allen, to see whether 
Mrs. Jewkes,’ his daughter, was there; and there his wife 
come to the door, he being at London, and, through a 
window, I spied Jewkes, but took no notice of her, but 
made excuse till night, and then promised to come and see 
Mrs. Allen again. A mighty cold and windy, but clear 
day; and had the pleasure of seeing the Medway running,

winding up and down mightily, and a very fine country; 
and I went a little out of the way to have visited Sir John 
Bankes, but he at London; but here I had a sight of his 
seat and house,’ the outside, which is an old abbey just like 
Hinchinbroke, and as good at least, and mighty finely placed 
by the river; and he keeps the grounds about it, and walls 
and the house, very handsome: I was mightily pleased with 
the sight of it. Thence to Maydstone, which I had a 
mighty mind to see, having never been there; and walked 
all up and down the town, and up to the top of the steeple, 
and had a noble view, and then down again: and in the 
town did see an old man beating of flax, and did step into 
the barn and give him money, and saw that piece of hus- 
bandry which I never saw, and it is very pretty: in the 
street also I did buy and send to our inne, the Bell, a dish 
of fresh fish. And so, having walked all round the town, 
and found it very pretty, as most towns I ever saw, though 
not very big, and people of good fashion in it, we to our 
inne, and had a good dinner; and a barber came to me, and 
there trimmed me, that I might be clean against night, to 
go to Mrs. Allen. And so, staying till four o’clock, we set 
out, I alone in the coach going and coming: and in our 
way back, I ’light out of the way to see a Saxon monument, 
as they say, of a King, which is of three stones standing 
upright, and a great round one lying on them, of great big- 
ness, although not so big as those on Salisbury Plain; but 
certainly it is a thing of great antiquity, and I am mightily 
glad to see it; it is near to Aylesford, where Sir John 
Bankes lives. So homeward to Chatham, to Captain 


Allen’s, and there ‘light, and sent the coach and Gibson | 


home, and I and Coney staid: and there comes to us Mrs. 
Jewkes, who is a very fine, proper lady, as most I know, 
and well dressed. Here was also a gentleman, one Major 


1The Friary, in Aylesford parish, since the property of the Earls of 
Aylesford, whose ancestor Heneage Finch married the eldest daughter 
and co-heir of Sir John Bankes. 


2This is the ancient monument called Kit’s Coty House, supposed 
to be the burial-place of Catigern, who fell in command of the Britons, 
in a sanguinary but successful conflict against the Saxons, under Hen- 
gist and Horsa. It stands on the Downs, about one mile north-east of 
Aylesford Church. See Stukeley’s Itinerarium, in which are two views 
of the monument, and Hasted’s History of Kent, vol. ii. p. 177.

Manly,’ and his wife, neighbours; and here we staid, and 
drank, and talked, and sat. Coney and he to play while 
Mrs. Jewkes and I to talk, and there had all our old stories 
up, and there I had the liberty to salute her often; and she 
mighty free in kindness to me; and had there been time, I 
might have carried her to Cobham, as she, upon my pressing 
it, was very willing to go. Here was a pretty cozen of hers 
come in to supper also, of a great fortune, daughter-in-law 
to this Manly, mighty pretty, but had now such a cold, she 
could not speak. Here staid till almost twelve at night, 
and then with a lanthorn from thence walked over the 
fields, as dark as pitch, and mighty cold, and snow, to 
Chatham, and Mr. Coney with great kindness to me; 
and there all in bed before I come home, and so I presently 
to bed. 

25th. Up, and by and by, about eight o’clock, came Rear- 
Admiral Kempthorne and seven Captains more, by the 
Duke of York’s order, as we expected, to hold the Court- 
martiall about the loss of “The Defyance;” and so pre- 
sently we by boat to “ The Charles,” which lies over against 
Upnor Castle; and there I did manage the business, the 
Duke of York having, by special order, directed them to 
take the assistance of Commissioner Middleton and me, 
forasmuch as there might be need of advice in what relates 
to the government of the ships in harbour. And so I did lay 
the law open to them, and rattle the Master-Attendants out 
of their wits almost; and made the trial last till seven at 
night, not eating a bit all the day; only when we had done 
examination, and I given my thoughts that the neglect of 
the Gunner of the ship was as great as I thought any 
neglect could be, which might by the law deserve death, 
but Commissioner Middleton did declare that he was 
against giving the sentence of death, we withdrew, as 
not being of the Court, and so left them to do what they 
Pleased; and, while they were debating it, the Boatswain 
of the ship did bring us out of the kettle a piece of hot salt 
beef, and some brown bread and brandy; and there we did 
make a little meal, but so good as I never would desire to

eat better meat while I live, only I would have cleaner 
dishes. By and by they had done, and called us down 
from the quarter-deck; and there we find they do sentence 
that the Gunner of “The Defyance” should stand upon 
“The Charles” three hours with his fault writ upon his 
breast, and with a halter about his neck, and so be made 
incapable of any service. The truth is, the man do seem, 
and is, I believe, a good man; but his neglect, in trust- 
ing a girl to carry fire into his cabin, is not to be par- 
doned. This being done, we took boat and home; and 
there a good supper was ready for us, which should have 
been our dinner. The Captains, desirous to be at Lon- 
don, went away presently for Gravesend, to get thither by 
this night’s tide; and so we to supper, it having been a 
great snowy and mighty cold, foul day; and so after supper 
to bed. 

26th. Up, and with Middleton all the morning at the 
Docke, looking over the storehouses and Commissioner ° 
Pett’s house, in order to Captain Cox’s coming to live there 
in his stead, as Commissioner. But it is a mighty pretty 
house; and pretty to see how every thing is said to be out 
of repair for this new man, though 10/. would put it into 
as good condition in every thing as it ever was in, so free 
every body is of the King’s money! And so to dinner at 
the Hill-House; and after dinner, till eight at night, close, 
Middleton and I, examining the business of Mr. Pett, about 
selling a boat, and we find him a very knave; and some 
other quarrels of his, wherein, to justify himself, he hath 
made complaints of others. This being done, we to sup- 
per, and so to talk, Commissioner Middleton being mighty 
good company upon a journey, and so to bed, thinking 
how merry my people are at this time, Tom and 
Jane being to have been married this day, it being also 
my feast for my being cut of the stone, but how many 
years I do not remember, but I think it to be about ten 
or eleven. 

27th. After drinking a little buttered ale, Huchinson 
and I took coach, and, exceedingly merry in talk, to Dart- 
ford: Middleton finding stories of his own life at Bar- 
badoes, and up and down at Venice, and elsewhere, that 
are mighty pretty, and worth hearing; and he is a strange 


1669] . SAMUEL PEPYS 139 


good companion, and droll upon the road, more than ever 
I could have thought to have been in him. Took coach 
again, and got home about six at night, it being all the 
morning as cold, snowy, windy, and rainy day, as any in 
the whole winter past, but pretty clear in the afternoon. 
I find all well, but my wife abroad with Jane, who was 
married yesterday. By and by my wife comes, and there I 
hear how merry they were yesterday, and I am glad at it, 
they being married, it seems, very handsomely, at Islington ; 
and dined at the old house, and lay in our blue chamber, 
with much company, and wonderful merry. The. Turner 
and Mary Batelier bridesmaids, and Talbot Pepys and W. 
Hewer bridesmen. 

28th. (Lord’s day.) To the Office with Tom, who looks 
mighty snug upon his marriage, as Jane also do, both of 
whom I did give joy, and so Tom and I to work at the 
Office all the morning till dinner, and then dined, W. Bate- 
lier with us; and so after dinner to work again, and sent 
for Gibson, and kept him also till eight at night, doing 
much business. And so, that being done, and my Journal 
writ, my eyes being very bad, and every day worse and 
worse, I fear: but I find it most certain that strong 
drinks do make my eyes sore, as they have done _ here- 
tofore always; for, when I was in the country, when 
my eyes were at the best, their stronge beere would 
make my eyes sore: so home to supper, and by and by to 
bed. 

29th. Up, and by water to White Hall; and there to 
the Duke of York, to show myself, after my journey to 
Chatham, but did no business to-day with him: only after 
gone from him, I to Sir T. Clifford’s; and there, after an 
hour’s waiting, he being alone in his closet, I did speak 
with him, and give him the account he gave me to draw up, 
and he did like it very well: and then fell to talk of the 
business of the Navy: and giving me good words, did fall 
foul of the constitution of the Board, and then did dis- 
cover his thoughts, that Sir J. Minnes was too old, and so 
was Colonel Middleton, and that my Lord Brouncker did 
mind his mathematics too much. I did not give much 
encouragement to that of finding fault with my fellow- 
officers; but did stand up for the constitution, and did say 


140 DIARY OF [30th March, 


that what faults there were in our Office would be found 
not to arise from the constitution, but from the failures of 
the officers in whose hands it was. This he did seem to 
give good ear to; but did give me of myself very good 
words, which pleased me well, though I shall not build 
upon them any thing. Thence home; and after dinner by 
water with Tom down to Greenwich, he reading to me all the 
way, coming and going, my collections out of the Duke of 
York’s old manuscript of the Navy, which I have bound 
up, and do please me mightily. At Greenwich I came to 
Captain Cocke’s, where the house full of company, at the 
burial of James Temple, who, it seems, hath been dead 
these five days: here I had a very good ring, which I did 
give my wife as soon as I come home. I spent my time 
there walking in the garden, talking with James Pierce, 
who tells me that he is certain that the Duke of Bucking- 
ham had been with his wenches all the time that he was 
absent, which was all the last week, nobody knowing where 
he was. The great talk is of the King’s being hot of late 
against Conventicles, and to see whether the Duke of Buck- 
ingham’s being returned will turn the King, which will make 
him very popular: and some think it is his plot to make 
the King thus, to show his power in the making him change 
his mind. But Pierce did tell me that the King did cer- 
tainly say, that he that took one stone from the Church, 
did take two from his Crown. By and by the corpse 
came out; and I, with Sir Richard Browne and Mr. Evelyn, 
‘n their coach to the church, where Mr. Plume preached. 
I, in the midst of the sermon, did go out, and walked all 
alone round to Deptford: and so to the King’s Yard, and 
there my boat by order met me, and home. This day my 
new chamber-maid, that comes in the room of Jane, is come, 
Jane and Tom lying at their own lodging this night: the 
new maid’s name is Matt, a proper and very comely maid. 
This day also our cook-maid Bridget went away, which I 
was sorry for; but, just at her going, she was found to be 


a thief, and so I was the less troubled for it; but now our © 


whole house will, in a manner, be new, which, since Jane is 
gone, I am not at all sorry for. 

30th. Up, and with Sir W. Coventry, to see and discourse 
with him; and he tells me that he hath lately been with my_ 


1669] SAMUEL PEPYS 141 


Lord Keeper, and had much disccurse about the Navy; and 
particularly he tells me that he finds they are divided touch- 
ing me, and my Lord Brouncker; some are for removing us, 
and some for keeping us. He told my Lord Keeper that it 
would cost the King 10,0001. before he had made another 
as fit to serve him in the Navy as I am; which, though I 
believe it is true, yet I am much pleased to have that 
character given me by Sir W. Coventry, whatever be the 
success of it. But I perceive they do think that I know 
too much, and shall impose upon whomever shall come next, 
and therefore must be removed, though he tells me that 
Sir T. Clifford is inclined well enough to me, and Sir T. 
Osborne; by what I have lately done, I suppose. This 
news is but what I ought not to be much troubled for, con- 
sidering my incapacity, in regard to my eyes, to continue 
long at this work. To the Office, where all the morning; 
and Sir W. Pen, the first time that he hath been here since 
his being last sick, which, I think, is two or three months; 
and I think will be the last that he will be here as one of 
the Board, he now inviting us all to dine with him, as a part- 
ing dinner, on Thursday next, which I am glad of, I am sure; 
for he is a very villain. 

$l1st. Up, and by water to Sir W. Coventry’s, there to 
talk with him about business of the Navy, and received 
from him direction what to advise the Duke of York at 
this time, which was, to submit and give way to the King’s 
naming a man or two, that the people about him have a 
mind should be brought into the Navy, and perhaps that 
may stop their fury in running further against the whole; 
and this, he believes, will do it. After much discourse with 
him, I walked out with him into St. James’s Park, where, 
being afraid to be seen with him, he having not leave yet 
to kiss the King’s hand, but notice taken, as I hear of all 
that go to him, I did make the pretence of my attending 
the Tangier Committee, to take my leave, though to serve 
_him I should, I think, stick at nothing. At the Committee, 
_ this morning, my Lord Middleton declares at last his being 
ready to go, as soon as ever money can be made ready to 
pay the garrison: and so I have orders to get money, 
but how soon I know not. Thence home, and there find 
Mr. Sheres, of whom I find my wife of late to talk with 


142 DIARY OF [ist March, 


mighty kindness; and particularly he hath shown himself 
to be a poet, and that she do mightily value him for. He 
did not stay to dine with us, but we to dinner; and then, 
in the afternoon, my wife being very well dressed by her 
new maid, we abroad, to make a visit to Mrs. Pickering; 
but she abroad again, and so we never yet saw her. Thence 
to Dancre’s, and there saw our pictures which are in do- 
ing; and I did choose a view of Rome instead of Hampton 
Court; and mightily pleased I shall be in them. Here were 
Sir Charles Cotterell and his son bespeaking something; both 
ingenious men, I hear. Thence my wife and I to the Park; 
and pretty store of company; and so home with great con- 
tent: and so ends the month, my mind in pretty good con- 
tent for all things, but the designs on foot to bring alterations 
in the Office, which trouble me. 

April 1st. Up, and with Colonel Middleton, at the desire 
of Rear-Admiral Kempthorne, the President, for our assist- 
ing them, to the Court-martiall on board a yacht in the 
River here, to try the business of the Purser’s complaints, 
Baker against Trevanion, his Commander, of “ The Dart- 
mouth.” But, Lord! to see what wretched doings there 
were among all the Commanders to ruin the Purser, and 
defend the Captain in all his rogueries, be it to the preju- 
dice of the King or Purser, no good man could bear! I 
confess I was pretty high, which the young gentlemen 
Commanders did not like; and Middleton did the same. 
But could not bring it to any issue this day, sitting till two 
o’clock; and therefore we being sent for, went to Sir W. 
Pen’s by invitation to dine; where my wife was, and my 
Lord Brouncker and his mistress, and Sir J. Minnes and 
his niece; and here a bad dinner, and little mirth, I being 
little pleased with my host. However, I make myself 
sociable; and so after dinner, my wife and I, with my Lord 
Brouncker and his mistress, who set us down at my cozen 
Turner’s, and there we staid awhile and talked; and particu- 
larly here we met with Dr. Ball, the Parson of the Temple, 
who did tell me a great many pretty stories about the 
manner of the Parsons being paid for their preaching at 
Paul’s heretofore, and now, and the ground of the Lecture, 
and for the names of the founders thereof, which were many, 


1669] SAMUEL PEPYS 143 


at some 5s., some 6s. per annum towards it: and had their 
names read in the pulpit every sermon among those holy 
persons that the Church do order a collect for, giving God 
thanks for. 

2d. To White Hall, and there to the Duke of York’s 
lodgings, whither he, by and by, by his appointment came: 
and alone with him an hour in his closet, telling him mine 
and Sir W. Coventry’s advice touching the present posture 
of the Navy, as the Duke of Buckingham and the rest do 
now labour to make changes therein; and that it were best 
for him to suffer the King to be satisfied with the bringing 
in of a man or two whom they desire. [I did also give the 
Duke of York a short account of the history of the Navy, 
as to our Office, wherewith he was very well satisfied: but 
I do find that he is pretty stiff against their bringing in of 
men against his mind, as the Treasurers were, and particu- 
larly against Child’s* coming in, because he is a merchant. 
After much discourse with him, we parted; and the Council 
sat, while I staid waiting for his tellmg me when I should 
be ready to give him a written account of the administration 
of the Navy, which caused me to wait the whole afternoon, 
till night. Im the mean time, stepping to the Duchess of 
York’s side to speak with Lady Peterborough, I did see the 
young Duchess,’ a little child in hanging sleeves, dance 
most finely, so as almost to ravish me, her ears were so 
good: taught by a Frenchman that did heretofore teach the 
King, and all the King’s children, and the Queen-Mother 
herself, who do still dance well. Thence to the council 
door, and Mr. Cheffinch took me into the back stairs, and 
there with his friend, Mr. Fowkes, for whom he is very 
solicitous in some things depending in this Office, he did 
make me, with some others that he took in (among others, 
Alderman Backewell), eat a pickled herring, the largest I 
ever saw, and drink variety of wines till I was almost merry; 
but I did keep in good time; and so, after the Council was 
up, I home; and there find my wife not yet come from 
Deptford, where she hath been all this day to see her 
mother. This night I did bring home from the King’s 


1 Afterwards Sir Josiah Child.

144 DIARY OF [5th April, 


pottecary’s, in White Hall, by Mr. Cooling’s direction, a 
water that he says is mighty good for his eyes. I pray 
God it may do me good: but, by his description, his 
disease was the same as mine, and this do encourage me 
to use it. 

3d. Up, and to the Council of War again, with Middleton: 
and the proceedings of the Commanders so devilishly bad, 
and so professedly partial to the Captain, that I could en- 
dure it no longer, but took occasion to pretend business at 
the Office, and away, and Colonel Middleton with me, who 
was of the same mind, and resolved to declare our minds 
freely to the Duke of York about it. 

4th. (Lord’s day.) Up, and to church, where Alderman 
Backewell’s wife, by invitation with my leave, come up with 
her mother, and sat with us, and after sermon I did walk 
with them home, and there left them, and home to dinner. 
After dinner with Sir J. Minnes and T. Middleton to 
White Hall, by appointment; and at my Lord Arlington’s 
the Office did attend the King and Cabal, to discourse of 
the further quantity of victuals fit to be declared for,* 
which was 2000 men for six months; and so home without 
more ado er stay there, hearing no news but that Sir Thomas 
Allen is to be expected every hour at home with his fleete, 
or news of his being gone back to Algier. The Queen- 
Mother hath been of late mighty ill, and some fears of her 
death. 

5th. With Creed walking in the garden, and talking 
about our Office, and Child’s coming in to be a Com- 
missioner; and, being his friend, I did think he might do 
me a kindness to learn of him what the Duke of Bucking- 
ham and the faction do design touching me, and to instil 
good words concerning me, which he says, and I believe he 
will: and it is but necessary; for I have not a mind indeed 
at this time to be put out of my Office, if I can make any 
shift that is honourable to keep it; but I will not do it by 


deserting the Duke of York. At noon by appointment 
comes Mr. Sheres, and he and I to Unthanke’s, where my ~ 
wife stays for us in our coach, and Betty. Turner with — 
her; and we to the Mulberry Garden, where Sheres is to — 


The official expression still used. 


1669] SAMUEL PEPYS 145 


treat us with a Spanish Olio,* by a cook of his acquaintance 
that is there, that was with my Lord in Spain: and without 
any other company, he did do it, and mighty nobly; and 
the Olio was indeed a very noble dish, such as I never saw 
better or any more of. ‘This, and the discourse he did give 
us of Spain, and description of the Escuriall, was a fine 
treat. So we left other good things, that would keep till 
night, for a collation; and, with much content, took coach 
again, and went five or six miles towards Branford, where 
the Prince of Tuscany,’ who comes into England only to 
spend money and see our country, comes into the town to- 
day, and is much expected; and we met him, but the coach 
passing by apace, we could not see much of him, but he 
seems a very jolly and good comely man. By the way, we 
overtook Captain Furrers upon his fine Spanish horse, and 
he is a fine horse indeed; but not so good, I think, as I 
have seen some. He did ride by us most of the way, and 
with us to the Park, and there left us, where we passed the 
evening, and meeting The. Turner, Talbot, W. Batelier, and 
his sister, in a coach, we anon took them with us to the 
Mulberry Garden; and there, after a walk, to supper upon 
what was left at noon: and very good; only Mr. Sheres 
being taken suddenly ill for a while, did spoil our mirth; 
and by and by was well again, and we mighty merry: and 
so broke up, and left him at Charing Cross, and so calling 
only at my cozen Turner’s, away home, mightily pleased 
with the day’s work. This day come another new mayd, 
for a middle mayd, but her name I know not yet; and, for

Cosmo de’ Medici, who succeeded his father Ferdinand in the 
Dukedom of Tuscany in 1670. Whilst he was in England, in 1669, the 
Prince caused a number of views of places and of scenery to be executed 
for him. A few of these have been engraved, on a reduced scale, for 
Mawman’s 4to, publication of Cosmo’s Travels, in 1821, but those prints 
being very unsatisfactory, the facsimile copies of the original drawings 
now at Florence, were purchased by the present Editor’s uncle, the 
Right Hon. Thomas Grenville, and form part of the splendid library 
which he bequeathed, in 1846, to the British Museum. Readers will 
remember the use which Lord Macaulay has made of them, that “ scarce 
a hedgerow is to be seen, and numerous tracts, now rich with culti- 
vation, appear as bare as Salisbury Plain.”

a cook-maid, we have, ever since Bridget went, used a black- 
moore of Mr. Batelier’s, Doll, who dresses our meat mighty 
well, and we mightily pleased with her. 

6th. To Mr. Batelier’s to dinner, where my cozen Turner 
and both her daughters, and Talbot Pepys and my wife, and 
a mighty fine dinner. They at dinner before I come; and, 
when I had dined, I away home, and thence to White Hall, 
where the Board waited on the Duke of York; and Mid- 
dleton and I did in plain terms acquaint him what we 
thought and had observed in the late Court-martiall, which 
the Duke did give ear to; and though he thinks not fit to 
revoke what is already done in this case by a Court-martiall, 
yet it shall bring forth some good laws in the behaviour of 
Captains to their under Officers for the time to come. 
Thence home, and after a while at the Office, come home 
my wife, who hath been at Batelier’s late, and dancing with 
the company, at which I seemed a little troubled, not being 
sent for myself, but I was not so much so, but went to bed 
well enough pleased. 

7th. By coach to my cozen Turner’s, and invited them to 
dine at the Cocke to-day, with my wife and me; and so to 
the Lords of the Treasury, where all the morning, and settled 
matters to their liking about the assignments on the Cus- 
tomes, between the Navy Office and Victualler, and to that 
end spent most of the morning there with D. Gauden. I 
to the New Exchange, to talk with Betty,’ my little semp- 
stress; and so to Mrs. Turner’s, to call them to dinner, 
but my wife not come, I back again, and was overtaken 
by a porter, with a message from my wife that she 
was ill, and could not come to us: so I back again to 
Mrs. Turner’s, and find them gone; and so back again to 
the Cocke, and there find Mrs. Turner, Betty, and Talbot 
Pepys, and they dined with myself, Sir D. Gauden and 
Gibson, and mighty merry, this house being famous for 
good meat, and particularly pease-porridge. After dinner, 
broke up, and they away; and I to the Council-Chamber, 
and there heard the great complaint of the City, tried 


against the gentlemen of the Temple, for the late ryot, as 


they would have it, when my Lord Mayor was there. But, 


1Betty Smith: see 11th January, 1668-9, ante. 


1669] SAMUEL PEPYS 147 


upon hearing the whole business, the City was certainly to 
blame to charge them in this manner as with a ryot: but 
the King and Council did forbear to determine any thing in 
it, till the other business of the title and privilege be de- 
cided, which is now under dispute at law between them, 
whether the Temple be within the liberty of the City or no.* 
But I was sorry to see the City so ill-advised as to com- 
plain in a thing where their proofs were so weak. Thence to 
my cozen Turner’s, and thence with her and her daughters, 
and her sister Turner, I carrying Betty in my lap, to Tal- 
bot’s Chamber at the Temple, where, by agreement, the 
poor rogue had a pretty dish of Anchovies and sweetmeats 
for them; and hither come Mr. Eden,’ who was in his mis- 
tress’s disfavour ever since the other night that he come in 
thither fuddled, when we were there. But I did make 
them friends by my buffoonery, and bringing up a way of 
spelling their names, and making Theophila spell Lamton, 
which she would have to be the name of Mr. Eden’s mistress, 
and mighty merry we were till late. This day I do hear 
that Betty Turner is to be left at school at Hackney, which 
I am mighty pleased with; for then I shall now and then 
see her. She is pretty, and a girl for that, and her relations, 
I love. 

8th. Up, and to White Hall, to the King’s side, to find 
Sir T. Clifford, where the Duke of York came and found 
me, which I was sorry for, for fear he should think I was 
making friends on that side. But I did put it off the best 
I could, my being there: and so, by and by, had opportu- 
nity alone to show Sir T. Clifford the fair account I had 
drawn up of the Customes, which he liked, and seemed 
mightily pleased with me; and so away to the Excise-Office, 
to do a little business there, and so to the Office, where all 
the morning. With my wife by coach to Islington, to pay 
what we owe there, for the late dinner at Jane’s wedding;

sented in Parliament for many years, married the lady here alluded to, 
Margaret, daughter and heir of John Lambton. He is the direct ancestor 
of the Lords Auckland. He was created a Baronet 13th November,

and so round by Kingsland and Hogsden* home, pleased 
with my wife’s singing with me, by the way. Going through 
Smithfield, I did see a coach run over a coachman’s neck, 
and stand upon it, and yet the man rose up, and was well 
after it, which I thought a wonder. 

9th. Up, and by water to White Hall, and there, with 
the Board, attended the Duke of York, and Sir Thomas 
Allen with us (who came to town yesterday); and it is 
resolved another fleete shall go to the Streights forthwith, 
and he command it. But his coming home is mighty hardly 
talked on by the merchants, for leaving their ships there to 
the mercy of the Turks: but of this more in my White-Book. 
To the Excise-Office, and to several places; among others, 
to Mr. Faythorne’s, to have seen an instrument which he 
was said to have, for drawing perspectives, but he had it 
not: but here I did see his workhouse, and the best things 
of his doing he had by him. 

10th. After dinner comes Mr. Seymour to visit me, a 
talking fellow: but I hear by him that Captain Trevanion 
do give it out everywhere, that I did over-rule the whole 
Court-martiall against him, so long as I was there; and 
perhaps I may receive, at this time, some wrong by it: 
but I care not, for what I did was out of my desire to do 
justice. 

llth. (Easter day.) Up, and to Church; where Alderman 
Backewell’s lady, and mother, and boy, and another gentle- 
woman, did come, and sit in our pew; but no women of our 
own there, and so there was room enough. Our Parson 
made a dull sermon, and so home to dinner; and, after 
dinner, my wife and I by coach, and Balty with us, to 
Loton,” the landscape-drawer, a Dutchman, living in St. 
James’s Market,’ but there saw no good pictures. But by 
accident he did direct us to a painter that was then in the 
house with him, a Dutchman, newly come over, one Verelst,*

he died circ. 1688.

‘Simon Verelst, a Dutch flower-painter, who practised his art with

who took us to his lodging close by, and did show us a 
little flower-pot of his drawing, the finest thing that ever, I 
think, I saw in my life; the drops of dew hanging on the 
leaves, so as I was forced again and again, to put my finger 
to it, to feel whether my eyes were deceived or no. He did 
ask 7Ol. for it: I had the vanity to bid him Q0l.: but a 
better picture I never saw in my whole life; and it is worth 
going twenty miles to see it. Thence, leaving Balty there, I 
took my wife to St. James’s, and there carried her to the 
Queen’s Chapel, the first time I ever did it; and heard ex- 
cellent musick, but not so good as by accident I did hear 
there yesterday, as I went through the Park from White 
Hall to see Sir W. Coventry, which I have forgot to set 
down in my Journal yesterday. And going out of the 
Chapel I did see the Prince of Tuscany* come out, a comely, 
black, fat man, in a mourning suit; and my wife and I did 
see him this afternoon through a window in this Chapel. 
All that Sir W. Coventry yesterday did tell me new was, 
that the King would not yet give him leave to come to 
kiss his hand; and he do believe that he will not in a great 
while do it, till those about him shall see fit, which I am sorry 
for. Thence to the Park, my wife and I; and here Sir W. 
Coventry did first see me and my wife in a coach of our 
own; and so did also this night the Duke of York, who did 
eye my wife mightily. But I begin to doubt that my being 
so much seen in my own coach at this time, may be ob- 
served to my prejudice; but I must venture it now. So 
home, and so set down my Journal, with the help of my 
left eye through my tube,” for fourteen days past; which is 
so much, as, I hope, I shall not run in arrear again, but the 
badness of my eyes do force me to it. 

12th. The whole Office attended the Duke of York at his 
meeting with Sir Thomas Allen and several flag officers, to 
consider of the matter of managing the war with Algiers; and, 
it being a thing I was wholly silent in, I did only observe; 
and find that their manner of discourse on this weighty 
affair was very mean and disorderly, the Duke of York him- 
self being the man that I thought spoke most to the pur-

pose. Meeting Mr. Sheres, took him to see the fine flower- 
pot I saw yesterday, and did again offer 201. for it; but he 
[ Verelst] insists upon 501. By and by to my wife at Un- 
thanke’s, and with her was Jane, and so to the Cocke, where 
they, and I, and Sheres, and Tom, dined, my wife having a 
great desire to eat of their soup made of pease. By water 
to the Bear-Garden, and there happened to sit by Sir 
Fretcheville Hollis, who is still full of his vain-glorious and 
prophane talk. Here we saw a prize fought between a sol- 
dier and a country fellow, one Warrell, who promised the 
least in his looks, and performed the most valour in his 
boldness and evenness of mind, and smiles in all he did, that 
ever I saw: and we were all both deceived and infinitely 
taken with him. He did soundly beat the soldier, and cut 
him over the head. Thence back to White Hall, mightily 
Pleased, all of us, with this sight, and particularly this 
fellow, as a most extraordinary man for his temper and 
evenness in fighting. Home, and after sitting a while, 
thrumming upon my viall, and singing, I to bed, and left 
my wife to do something to a waistcoat and petticoat she is 
to wear to-morrow. This evening, coming home, we over- 
took Alderman Backwell’s coach and his lady, and followed 
them to their house, and there made them the first visit, 
where they received us with extraordinary civility, and 
owning the obligation. But I do, contrary to my expecta- 
tion, find her something a proud and vain-glorious woman, 
in telling the number of her servants and family and ex- 
pences: he is also so, but he was ever of that strain. But 
here he showed me the model of his houses that he is going 
to build in Cornhill and Lumbard Street: but he hath pur- 
chased so much there, that it looks like a little town, and 
must have cost him a great deal of money. 

13th. I by hackney-coach to the Spittle,* and heard a 
piece of a dull sermon to my Lord Mayor and Aldermen, 
and thence saw them all take horse and ride away, which I 
have not seen together many a-day; their wives also went 
in their coaches; and, indeed, the sight was mighty pleas- 
ing. Thence took occasion to go back to a milliner’s in

Fenchurch Street, whose name I understand to be Clerke; 
and there, her husband inviting me up to the balcony, to 
see the Show go by to dinner, at Clothworker’s-Hall,* I did 
go up and there saw it go by: and then, there being a good 
piece of cold roast beef upon the table, one Margetts, a 
young merchant that lodges there, and is likely to marry a 
sister of hers, and I staid and eat, and had much good con- 
versation with her, who hath the vanity to talk of her great 
friends and father, one Wingate, near Welling,’ that hath 
been a Parliament-man. Here also was Stapely, the rope- 
merchant, and dined with us; and, after spending most of 
the afternoon also, I away home; and by water to White 
Hall to look, among other things, for Mr. May, to unbe- 
speak his dining with me to-morrow. Home by water, and 
there I find Talbot Pepys, and Mrs. Turner, and Betty, 
come to invite us to dinner on Thursday; and, after drink- 
ing, saw them to the water-side. 

14th. Up, and with W. Hewer to White Hall, and there 
I did speak with the Duke of York, the Council sitting in 
the morning, and it was to direct me to have my business 
ready of the Administration of the Office against Saturday 
next, when the King would have a hearing of it. To the 
Duke of York’s playhouse, and there saw ‘The Imper- 
tinents,” a play which pleases me well still; but it is with 
great trouble that I now see a play, because of my eyes, the 
light of the candles making it very troublesome to me. 
After the play to Creed’s, and there find him and his wife 
together alone, in their new house, where I never was be- 
fore; and a pretty house it is; but I do not see that they 
intend to keep any coach. Here they treat us like strangers, 
quite according’ to the fashion—nothing to drink or eat, 
which is a thing that will spoil our ever having any ac- 
quaintance with them; for we do continue the old freedom 


*Clothworkers’ Hall is situated near the north-east end of Mincing

describes it as a fine lofty room, in which Sir John Robinson, when 
Lord Mayor in 1663, entertained the King and Queen, the Queen 
Dowager, and the Duke and Duchess of York. The arms of Pepys and 
Hewer, and other benefactors to the Company, were painted on the glass 
of the east window.

and kindness of England to all our friends. They do 
here talk mightily of my Lady Paulina making a very 
good end, and being mighty religious in her lifetime; 
and she hath left many good notes of sermons and re- 
ligion, wrote with her own hand, which nobody ever knew 
of; which I am glad of: but she was always a peevish 
lady. 

15th. To my Cozen Turner’s, where I find they are gone 
_all to dinner to Povy’s, and thither I, and there they were 
all, and W. Batelier and his sister, and had dined; but I 
had good things brought me, and then all up and down 
the house, and mightily pleased to see the fine rooms: 
but, the truth is, there are so many bad pictures, that do 
make the good ones lose much of the pleasure in seeing 
them. The. and Betty Turner in new flowered tabby 
gowns, and so we were pretty merry. So, about five or six 
o’clock, away, and I took my wife and the two Bateliers, 
and carried them homeward, and W. Batelier ’lighting, 
I carried the women round by Islington, and so down Bish- 
opsgate Street home, and there to talk and sup, and then 
to bed. 

16th. My wife being gone abroad with W. Hewer, to see 
the new play to-day, at the Duke of York’s house, “ Gus- 
man;” I dined alone with my people, and in the afternoon 
away by coach to White Hall: and there the Office at- 
tended the Duke of York; and being despatched pretty 
soon, and told we should not wait on the King, as intended, 
till Sunday, I thence presently to the Duke of York’s play- 
house, and there, in the 18d. seat, did get room to see 
almost three acts of the play; but it seemed to me but very 
ordinary. After the play done, I into the pit, and there 
find my wife and W. Hewer; and Sheres got to them, 
which, so jealous is my nature, did trouble me, though my 
judgment tells me there is no hurt in it, on neither side; 
but here I did meet with Shadwell, the poet, who, to my 
great wonder, do tell me that my Lord of [Orrery] did 
write this play, trying what he could do in comedy, since 
his heroique plays could do no more wonders. This do 
trouble me; for it is as mean a thing, and so he says, 
as hath been upon the stage a great while; and Harris, 
who hath no part in it, did come to me, and told me in 


1669] SAMUEL PEPYS 153 


discourse, that he was glad of it, it being a play that will 
not take.’ 

17th. At noon home to dinner, and there find Mr. Pierce, 
the surgeon, and he dined with us; and there hearing that 
“The Alchymist ” was acted, we did go, and took him with 
us to the King’s house; and it is still a good play, having 
not been acted for two or three years before; but I do miss 
Clun,’ for the Doctor.* To Sir W. Coventry’s, reading over 
first my draught of the Administration of the Navy, which 
he do like very well; and so fell to talk of his late disgrace 
and how basely and in what a mean manner the Duke of 
Buckingham hath proceeded against him—not like a man of 
honour. He tells me that the King will not give other 
answer about his coming to kiss his hands, than “* Not yet.” 
But he says that this that he desires, of kissing the King’s 
hand, is only to show to the world that he is not discon- 
tented, and not in any desire to come again into play, though 
I do perceive that he speaks this with less earnestness than 
heretofore: and this, it may be, is, from what he told me 
lately, that the King is offended at what is talked, that he 
hath declared himself desirous not to have to do with any 
employment more. But he do tell me that the leisure he 
hath yet had do not at all begin to be burdensome to him, he 
knowing how to spend his time with content to himself; 
and that he hopes shortly to contract his expence, so as that 
he shall not be under any straits in that respect neither; 
and so seems to be in very good condition of content. ‘Thence 
I away over the Park, it being now night, to White Hall, 
and there, in the Duchess’s chamber, do find the Duke of 
York; and, upon my offer to speak with him, he did come 
to me, and withdrew to his closet, and there did hear and 
approve my paper of the Administration of the Navy, only 
did bid me alter these words, “ upon the rupture between 
the late King and the Parliament,” to these, “ the beginning 
of the late Rebellion;’’ giving it me as but reason to show 
that it was through the Rebellion that the Navy was put 
out of its old good course, into that of a Commission. 
Having done this, we fell to other talk; he with great con-

fidence telling me how matters go among our adversaries, 
in reference to the Navy, and that he thinks they do begin 
to flag; but then, beginning to talk in general of the ex- 
cellency of old constitutions, he did bring out of his cabi- 
net, and made me read it, an extract out of a book of my 
late Lord of Northumberland’s, so prophetic of the busi- 
ness of Chatham, as is almost miraculous.* I did desire, 
and he did give it me to copy out, which pleased me 
mightily. 

18th. (Lord’s day.) To my Office again, to examine the 
fair draught; and so, borrowing Sir J. Minnes’s coach, he 
going with Colonel Middleton, I to White Hall, where we 
all met and did sign it; and then to my Lord Arlington’s, 
where the King, and the Duke of York, and Prince Rupert, 
as also Ormond and the two Secretaries, with my Lord Ashly 
and Sir T. Chfford, were. And there, by and by, being 
called in, Mr. Williamson did read over our paper, which 
was in a letter to the Duke of York, bound up in a book 
with the Duke of York’s “ Book of Instructions.” He read 
it well; and, after read, we were bid to withdraw, nothing 
being at all said to it. And by and by we were called in 
again, and nothing said to that business; but another be- 
gun, about the state of this year’s action, and our wants of 
money, as I had stated the same lately to our Treasurers; 
which I was bid, and did largely, and with great content, 
open. And having so done, we all withdrew, and left them 
to debate our supply of money; to which, being called in, 
and referred to attend on the Lords of the Treasury, we all 
departed. And I only staid in the House till the Council 


*Most probably John Holland’s report on the state of the Defences 
of the Navy, made to Algernon Earl of Northumberland, in 1638, when 
Lord High Admiral. See note at p. 130, ante. A copy of the paper 
here alluded to is in Rawlinson, A 195, fol. 124. It was an extract from 
an old book formerly in the library at Petworth, and written by Sir 
William Monson, the well-known English Admiral, who died in 1643. 
He was the author of several naval tracts, all of which are printed in 
Churchill’s Voyages, and the passage quoted by Pepys, will be found at 
p- 421 of vol. iii. It seems highly probable that some one in the 
Dutch interest might have seen Sir William’s Book of Stratagems, and 
planned the memorable expedition against Chatham; though the fact 
of the defenceless state of the River Thames, in the event of the Dutch 
ever becoming superior to us at sea, was too obvious to merit the appel- 
lation of a prophecy. 


1669] SAMUEL PEPYS 155 


rose; and then to the Duke of York, in the Duchess’s 
chamber, where he told me that the book was there left 
with my Lord Arlington, for any of the Lords to view that 
had a mind, and to prepare and present to the King what 
they had to say in writing, to any part of it, which is all we 
can desire, and so that rested. The Duke of York then 
went to other talk; and by and by comes the Prince of 
Tuscany to visit him, and the Duchess; and I find that he 
do still remain incognito, and so intends to do all the time 
he stays here, for avoiding trouble to the King and himself, 
and expence also to both. Thence I to White Hall Gate, 
thinking to have found Sir J. Minnes’s coach staying for 
me; but, not being there, and this being the first day of 
rain we have had many a day, the streets being as dusty as 
in summer, I forced to walk to my cozen Turner’s, and 
there, having kissed and taken leave of Betty, who goes 
to Putney to school to-morrow, I walked through the rain 
to the Temple, and there, with much ado, got a coach, and 
so home. 

19th. Up, and with Tom, whom, with his wife, I, and my 
wife, had this morning taken occasion to tell that I did in- 
tend to give him 401. for himself, and 201. to his wife, to- 
wards their setting out in the world, and that my wife would 
give her 20]. more, that she might have as much to begin 
with as he, by coach to White Hall. After dinner out 
again, and, calling about my coach, which was at the coach- 
maker’s, and hath been for these two or three days, to be 
new painted, and the window-frames gilt against next May- 
day, went on with my hackney to White Hall. 

20th. Up; and to the Office, and my wife abroad with 
Mary Batelier, with our own coach, but borrowed Sir J. 
Minnes’s coachman, that so our own might stay at home, 
to attend at dinner; our family being mightily disordered 
by our little boy’s falling sick the last night: and we fear 
it will prove the small-pox. At noon comes my guest, Mr. 
‘Hugh May,* and with him Sir Henry Capell, my old Lord 
Capell’s son, and Mr. Parker; and I had a pretty dinner 
for them; and both before and after dinner had excellent 
discourse; and showed them my closet and my Office, and 
the method of it, to their great content; and more extra- 

+See note to 8th June, 1665, anie. 


156 DIARY OF [20th April, 


ordinary, manly discourse and opportunity of showing my- 
self, and learning from others, I have not, in ordinary dis- 
course, had in my life, they being all persons of worth, but 
especially Sir H. Capell, whose being a Parliament-man, and 
hearing my discourse in the Parliament-house, hath, as May 
tells me, given him a long desire to know and discourse with 
me. In the afternoon we walked to the Old Artillery- 
Ground: near the Spitalfields, where I never was before, 
but now, by Captain Deane’s invitation, did go to see his 
new gun tryed, this being the place where the Officers of 
the Ordnance do try all their great guns; and when we 
came, did find that the trial had been made; and they 
going away with extraordinary report of the proof of his 
gun, which, from the shortness and bigness, they do call — 
Punchinello. But I desired Colonel Legg to stay and give 
us a sight of her performance, which he did, and there, in 
short, against a gun more than as long and as heavy again, 
and charged with as much powder again, she carried the 
same bullet as strong to the mark, and nearer and above 
the mark at a point blank than their’s, and is more easily 
managed, and recoils no more than that, which is a thing 
so extraordinary as to be admired for the happiness of his 
invention, and to the great regret of the old Gunners and 
Officers of the Ordnance that were there, only Colonel Legg 
did do her much right in his report of her. And so, having 
seen this great and first experiment, we all parted, I seeing 
my guests into a hackney-coach, and myself, with Captain 
Deane, taking a hackney-coach, did go out towards Bow, 
and went as far as Stratford, and all the way talking of this 
invention, and he offering me a third of the profit of it: 
which, for aught I know, or do at present think, may prove 
matter considerable to us: for either the King will give 
him a reward for it, if he keeps it to himself, or he will give 
us a patent to make our profit of it; and no doubt but it 
will be of profit to merchantmen and others, to have guns 
of the same force at half the charge. This was our talk: 


1Teasel Close, in Bishopsgate Street, where some land had been 
granted to the Gunners of the Tower for the practice of great and small 
ordnance, by William, last prior of St. Mary Spital. It was long called 
the Artillery Garden; but ultimately found too small, and disused. 
Artillery Lane has been built on its site. 


1669] SAMUEL PEPYS 157 


and then to talk of other things, of the Navy in general: 
and, among other things, he did tell me that he do hear 
how the Duke of Buckingham hath a spite at me, which I 
knew before, but value it not: and he tells me that Sir T. 
Allen is not my friend; but for all this I am not much 
troubled, for I know myself so usefull that, as I believe, 
they will not part with me; so I thank God my condition 
is such that I can retire, and be able to live with comfort, 
though not with abundance. 

Qist. Up; and with my own coach as far as the Temple, 
and thence sent it to my cozen Turner, who, to ease her own 
horses, that are going with her out of town, do borrow 
mine. To Auditor Wood’s, and met my Lord Bellassis 
upon some business of his accounts. Attended the Duke 
of York a little, being the first time of my waiting on him 
at St. James’s this summer, whither he is now newly gone; 
and thence walked to White Hall; and so, by and by, to 
the Council-Chamber, and heard a remarkable cause pleaded 
between the Farmers of the Excise of Wiltshire, in com- 
plaint against the Justices of Peace of Salisbury: and Sir 
H. Finch was for the former. But, Lord! to see how he 
did with his admirable eloquence order the matter, is not to 
be conceived almost; so pleasant a thing it is to hear him 
plead. By and by comes my cozen Turner, and The., and 
Joyce, in their riding-clothes, they being come from their 
lodgings to her husband’s chamber, at the Temple, and 
there do lie, and propose to go out of town on Friday 
next; and here I had a good dinner for them. After dinner 
by water to White Hall, where the Duke of York did meet 
our Office, and went with us to the Lords Commissioners 
of the Treasury; and there we did go over all the business 
of the state I had drawn up, of this year’s action and ex- 
pence, which I did do to their satisfaction, and convincing 
them of the necessity of providing more money, if possible, 
for us. Thence the Duke of York being gone, I did there 
stay walking with Sir H. Cholmly in the Court, talking of 
news; where he told me, that now the great design of the 
Duke of Buckingham is to prevent the meeting, since he 
cannot bring about with the King the dissolving, of this 
Parliament, that the King may not need it; and therefore 
my Lord St. Albans is hourly expected with great offers of 


158 DIARY OF [23d April, 


a million of money,’ to buy our breach with the Dutch: 
and this, they do think, may tempt the King to take the 
money, and thereby be out of a necessity of calling the 
Parliament again, which these people dare not suffer to 
meet again: but this he doubts, and so do I, that it will be 
the ruin of the nation if we fall out with Holland. My boy 
comes to tell me that his mistress was at the Gate with the 
coach, whither I went, and there find my wife and the 
whole company. So she, and Mrs. Turner, and The., and 
Talbot, in mine; and Joyce, W. Batelier, and I, in a hack- 
ney, to Hyde Park, where I was ashamed to be seen; but 
mightily pleased, though troubled, with a drunken coach- 
man that did not remember when we come to light, where 
it was that he took us up; but said at Hammersmith, and 
thither he was carrying of us when we come first out of the 
Park. So I carried them all to Hercules-Pillars, and there 
did treat them; and so, about ten at night, parted, and 
my wife, and I, and W. Batelier, home; and he gone, we 
to bed. 

22d. Up, and to the Office, where all the morning. At 
noon home to dinner, and Captain Deane with us; and very 
good discourse, and particularly about my getting a book 
for him to draw up his whole theory of shipping, which, at 
my desire, he hath gone far in, and hath shown me what he 
hath done therein, to admiration. I did give him a Paral- 
lelogram, which he is mightily taken with; and so after 
dinner to the Office, where all the afternoon till night late, 


and then home. Vexed at my wife’s not being come : 


home, she being gone again abroad with M. Batelier, and 
come not home till ten at night, which vexed me, so that 
I to bed, and lay in pain awake till past one, and then to 
sleep. 

23d. Going to rise, without saying anything, my wife 
stopped me; and, after a little angry talk, did tell me how 
she spent all yesterday with M. Batelier and her sweetheart, 
and seeing a play at the New Nursery, which is set up at 
the house in Lincoln’s Inn Fields, which was formerly the 
King’s house. To the Council-Chamber, and heard two or 
three causes; among others, that of the complaint of Sir 


1From Louis XIV.: see 28th April, post.

Philip Howard and Watson, the inventors, as they pretend, 
of the business of varnishing and lackerworke, against the 
Company of Painters, who take upon them to do the same 
thing; where I saw a great instance of the weakness of a 
young Counsel not used to such an audience, against the 
Solicitor-General and two more able Counsel used to it. 
Though he had the right of his side, and did prevail for 
what he pretended to against the rest, yet it was with 
much disadvantage and hazard. Here I also heard Mr. Pa- 
pillion* make his defence to the King, against some com- 
plaints of the Farmers of Excise; but it was so weak, and 
done only by his own seeking, that it was to his injury more 
than profit, and made his case the worse, being ill managed, 
and in a cause against the King. By agreement met my 
wife, and with her to the Cocke, and did give her a dinner. 
Thence to the King’s playhouse, and saw “ The Generous 
Portugalls,”* a play that pleases me better and better every 
time we see it; and, I thank God! it did not trouble my 
eyes so much as I was afraid it would. Here, by accident, 
we met Mr. Sheres, and yet I could not but be troubled, 
because my wife do so delight to talk of him, and to see 
him. Nevertheless, we took him with us to our mercer’s, 
and to the Exchange, and he helped me to choose a sum- 
mer-suit of coloured camelott, coat and breeches, and a 
flowered tabby coat, very rich; and so home, where he 
took his leave, and down to Greenwich, where he hath 
some friends; and I to see Colonel Middleton, who hath 
been ill for a day or two, or three; and so home to supper, 
and to bed. 

24th. Mr. Sheres dining with us; and my wife, which 
troubled me, mighty careful to have a handsome dinner for 


*Thomas Papillon, Esq., of Lubbenham, in Leicestershire, who pur- 
chased the manor of Acrise, in Kent, in 1666. He was an eminent 
merchant of London, and Master of the Mercers’ Company in 1698; 
and was M.P. for Dover, temp. Charles II., and for London in the 
10th of William III. The case of Mr. Papillon related to a Petition 
of the Company of Wine Merchants, concerning Brandy, alias Strong 
Water, against the Farmers of Excise, of which some account is given 
in Anchitell Grey’s Debates, vol. i., p. 237. 


?This play has not been traced,

him; but yet I see no reason to be troubled at it, he being 
a very civil and worthy man, I think; but only it do seem 
to imply some little neglect of me. After dinner to the 
King’s house, and there saw “The General’ revived—a 
good play, that pleases me well, and thence, our coach com- 
ing for us, we parted and home. Well pleased to-night to 
have Lead, the vizard-maker, bring me home my vizard, 
with a tube fastened in it, which, I think, will do my 


business, at least in a great measure, for the easing of my- 


eyes. 

25th. (Lord’s day. ) Up, and to my Office awhile, and 
thither comes Lead with my vizard, with a tube fastened 
within both eyes; which, with the help which he prompts 
me to, of a glass in the tube, do content me mightily. To 
church, where a stranger made a dull sermon, but I mightily 
pleased to look upon Mr. Buckworth’s little pretty daugh- 
ters. W. Howe came and dined with us; and then I to 
my Office, he being gone, to write down my Journal for the 
last twelve days: and did it with the help of my vizard and 
tube fixed to it, and do find it mighty manageable, but how 
helpfull to my eyes this trial will show me. So abroad with 
my wife, in the afternoon, to the Park, where very much 
company, and the weather very pleasant. I carried my wife 
to the Lodge, the first time this year, and there in our coach 
eat a cheesecake and drank a tankard of milk. I showed 
her this day also first the Prince of Tuscany, who was in 
the Park, and many very fine ladies. 

26th. To Lilly’s, the Varnisher, who is lately dead, and 
his wife and brother keep up the trade, and there I left my 
French prints to be put on boards; and, while I was there, 
a fire burst out in a chimney of a house over against his 
house, but it was with a gun quickly put out. So home, 
calling at the laceman’s for some lace for my new suit, and 
at my tailors, and Mr. Sheres dined with us, who come hither 
to-day to teach my wife the rules of perspective; but I 
think, upon trial, he thinks it too hard to teach her, being 
ignorant of the principle of lines. After dinner comes 
Colonel Macnachan, one that I see often at Court, a Scotch- 
man, but know him not; only he brings me a letter from 


1 By James Shirley.

my Lord Middleton, who, he says, is in great distress for 
5001. to relieve my Lord Morton* with, but upon what ac- 
count I know not; and he would have me advance it with- 
out order upon his pay for Tangier, which I was astonished 
at, but had the grace to deny him with an excuse. And 
so he went away, leaving me a little troubled that I was 
thus driven, on a sudden, to do any thing herein; but 
Creed, coming just now to see me, he approves of what I 
have done. And then to talk of general matters, and, by 
and by, Sheres being gone, my wife, and he, and I out, and 
I set him down at Temple Bar, and myself and wife went 
down the Temple upon seeming business, only to put him 
off ; and to the ’Change, about things for her; and here, at 
Mrs. Burnett’s shop, I am told by Betty, who was all un- 
dressed, of a great fire happened in Durham-Yard last 
night, burning the house of one Lady Hungerford,” who was 
to come to town to it this night; and so the house is burned, 
new furnished, by carelessness of the girl sent to take off a 
candle from a bunch of candles, which she did by burning 
it off, and left the rest, as is supposed, on fire. The King 
and Court were here, it seems, and stopped the fire by 
blowing-up of the next house. The King and Court went 
out of town to Newmarket this morning betimes, for a 
week. This night I did call at the coachmaker’s, and do 
resolve upon having the standards of my coach gilt with 
this new sort of varnish, which will come but to 40s.; 
and, contrary to my expectation, the doing of the biggest 
coach all over comes not to above 6l., which is [not] very 
much. 

27th. Up and to the Office, where all the morning. At 
noon home to dinner, and then to the Office again, where 
all the afternoon busy til late, and then home, and got my 
wife to read to me in the Nepotisme,” which is very pleasant, 
and so to supper and to bed.

28th. Up, and was called upon by Sir H. Cholmly to dis- 


course about some accounts of his, of Tangier: and then to 
other talk; and I find by him that it is brought almost to 
effect (through the late endeavours of the Duke of York 
and Duchess, the Queen-Mother, and my Lord St. Albans, 
together with some of the contrary faction, as my Lord 
Arlington,) that for a sum of money we shall enter into a 
league with the King of France, wherein, he says, my Lord 
Chancellor’ is also concerned; aud that he believes that, 
in the doing hereof, it is meant that he [Clarendon] shall 
come in again, and that this sum of money will so help the 
King as that he will not need the Parliament; and that, 
in that regard, it will be forwarded by the Duke of Buck- 
ingham and his faction, who dread the Parliament. But 
hereby we must leave the Dutch, and that I doubt will undo 
us; and Sir H. Cholmly says he finds W. Coventry do 
think the like. My Lady Castlemaine is instrumental in 
this matter, and, he says, never more great with the King 
than she is now. But this is a thing that will make the 
Parliament and kingdom mad, and will turn to our ruine: 
for with this money the King shall wanton away his time 
in pleasures, and think nothing of the main till it be too 
late. This morning Mr. Sheres sent me, in two volumes, 
Marian his History of Spaine,” in Spanish, an excellent 
book; and I am much obliged to him for it. 

29th. Up; and to the Office, where all the morning, and 
at noon dined at home, and then to the Office again, there 


1669, of a bitter satire against the Court of Rome, written in Italian, 
and, as some say, by Gregorio Leti. It was first printed in 1667, with- 
out the name or place of printer, but it is from the press of the Elzevirs. 
The scope of the work will be well understood by the title: “Il Nipo- 
tismo di Roma, o vero relatione delle ragioni che muovono i Pontefici 
all’ aggrandimento de’ Nipoti: del bene e male che hanno portato alla 
Chiesa dopo Sisto IV., sino al presente: delle difficulta che incontrano 
i ministri d’ Prencipi nel trattare con loro, ed insieme col rimedio op- 
portuno per liberarsi da tali difficolta, e della causa perche le famiglie 
de’ Pontefici non sono durate lungo tempo in grandezza.” From this 
work the word Nepotism is derived, and is applied to the bad practice 
of statesmen, when in power, providing lucrative places for their rela- 
tions.

to dispatch as much business as I could, that I might be 
at liberty to-morrow to look after many things that I have 
to do, against May-day. 

30th. Up, and by coach to the coachmaker’s: and there 
I do find a great many ladies sitting m the body of a 
coach that must be ended by to-morrow: they were my 
Lady Marquis of Winchester,’ Bellassis,* and other great 
ladies, eating of bread and butter, and drinking ale. I to 
my coach, which is silvered over, but no varnish yet laid on, 
so I put it in a way of doing; and myself, about other 
business, and particularly to see Sir W. Coventry, with 
whom I talked a good while to my great content; and so 
to other places—among others, to my tailor’s: and then 
to the belt-maker’s, where my belt cost me 55s. of the 
colour of my new suit: and here, understanding that the mis- 
tress of the house, an oldish woman in a hat, hath some 
water good for the eyes, she did dress me, making my eyes 
smart most horribly, and did give me a little glass of it, which 
I will use, and hope it will do me good. So to the cut- 
ler’s, and there did give Tom, who was with me all day, 
a sword cost me 12s. and a belt of my owne; and sent 
my own silver-hilt sword a-gilding against to-morrow. 
This morning I did visit Mr. Oldenburgh,’? and did see 
the instrument for perspective made by Dr. Wren,* of 
which I have one making by Browne; and the sight of 
this do please me mightily. At noon my wife came to 
me at my tailor’s, and I sent her home, and myself and 
Tom dined at Hercules Pillars; and so about our business 
again, and particularly to Lilly’s, the varnisher, about my 
prints, whereof some of them are pasted upon the boards,

and to my full content. Thence to the frame-maker’s, 
one Norris, in Long Acre, who showed me several forms 
of frames, which were pretty, in little bits of mouldings, 
to choose patterns by. This done, I to my coachmaker’s, 
and there vexed to see nothing yet done to my coach, at 
three in the afternoon; but I set it in doing, and stood by 
till eight at night, and saw the painter varnish it, which is 
pretty to see how every doing it over do make it more 
and more yellow: and it dries as fast in the sun as it can 
be laid on almost; and most coaches are, now-a-days, done 
so, and it is very pretty when laid on well, and not too 
pale, as some are, even to show the silver. Here I did 
make the workmen drink, and saw my coach cleaned and 
oyled; and, staying among poor people there in the alley, 
did hear them call their fat child Punch, which pleased 
me mightily, that word being become a word of common 
use for all that is thick and short.1 At night home, 
and there find my wife hath been making herself clean 
against to-morrow; and, late <3 it was, I did send my 
coachman and horses to fetch home the coach to-night, 
and so we to supper, myself most weary with walking and 
standing so much, to see all things fine against to-morrow, 
and so to bed. Meeting with Mr. Sheres, to several places, 
and, among others, to buy a perriwig, but I bought none; 
and also to Dancre’s, where he was about my picture of 
Windsor, which is mighty pretty, and so will the prospect 
of Rome be. 

May Ist. Up betimes. Called by my tailor, and here first 
put on a summer suit this year; but it was not my fine 
one of flowered tabby vest, and coloured camelott tunique, 
because it was too fine with the gold lace at the hands, that I 
was afraid to be seen in it; but put on the stuff suit I made 
the last year, which is now repaired; and so did go to the 
Office in it, and sat all the morning, the day looking as if it 
would be fowle. At noon home to dinner, and there find 


my wife extraordinary fine, with her flowered tabby gown: 


*“ Puncheon, the vessel, Fr. poincon, perhaps so called from the pointed 
form of the staves; the vessel bellying out in the middle, and tapering 
towards each end: and hence punch (i. e., the large belly), became 
applied, as Pepys records, to any thing thick or short.”—Richardson’s 
Dictionary.

that she made two years ago, now laced exceeding pretty; 
and, indeed, was fine all over; and mighty earnest to go, 
though the day was very lowering; and she would have me 
put on my fine suit, which I did. And so anon we went 
alone through the town with our new liveries of serge, and the 
horses’ manes and tails tied with red ribbons, and the 
standards gilt with varnish, and all clean, and green reines, 
that people did mightily look upon us; and, the truth is, 
I did not see any coach more pretty, though more gay than 
ours, all the day. But we set out, out of humour—I 
because Betty, whom I expected, was not come to go with 
us; and my wife that I would sit on the same seat with her, 
which she likes not, being so fine: and she then expected 
to meet Sheres, which we did in the Pell Mell, and, against 
my will, I was forced to take him into the coach, but was 
sullen all day almost, and little complaisant: the day being 
unpleasing, though the Park full of coaches, but dusty and 
windy, and cold, and now and then a little dribbling of rain; 
and, what made it worse, there were so many hackney- 
coaches as spoiled the sight of the gentlemen’s;* and so we 
had little pleasure. But here was W. Batelier and his 
sister in a borrowed coach by themselves, and I took them 
and we to the lodge; and at the door did give them a 
syllabub, and other things, cost me 12s., and pretty merry. 
And so back to the coaches, and there till the evening, and 
then home, leaving Mr. Sheres* at St. James’s Gate, where 
he took leave of us for altogether, he being this night 
to set out for Portsmouth post, in his way to Tangier, 
which troubled my wife mightily, who is mighty, though not, 
I think, too fond of him. 

2d. (Lord’s day.) Up, and by water to White Hall, and 
there visited my Lord Sandwich; who, after about two 
months’ absence at Hinchinbroke, came to town last night. 
I saw him, and he was very kind; and I am glad he is so, 
I having not wrote to him all the time, my eyes indeed not 
letting me. Here with Sir Charles Harbord, and my Lord 
Hinchinbroke, and Sidney, and we looked upon the picture 


*This is a little too much, considering that the Journalist had so 
recently set up his own carriage.

of Tangier, designed by Charles Harbord,’ and drawn by 
' Dancre, which my Lord Sandwich admires, as being the 
truest picture that ever he saw in his life: and it is indeed 
very pretty, and I will be at the cost of having one of them. 
Thence with them to White Hall, and there walked out the 
sermon, with one or other; and then saw the Duke of York, 
and he talked to me a little; and so away back by water 
home. After dinner, got my wife to read, and then by 
coach, she and I, to the Park, and there spent the evening 
with much pleasure, it proving clear after a little shower, 
and we mighty fine as yesterday, and people mightily pleased 
with our coach, as I perceive; but I had not on my fine 
suit, being really afraid to wear it, it being so fine with the 
gold lace, though not gay. 

3d. Up, and by coach to my Lord Brouncker’s, where 
Sir G. Carteret did meet Sir J. Minnes and me, to discourse 
upon Mr. Deering’s business, who was directed, in the time 
of the war, to provide provisions at Hamburgh, by Sir G. 
Carteret’s direction; and now Sir G. Carteret is afraid to 
own it, it being done without written order. But by our 
meeting, we do all begin to recollect enough to preserve 
Mr. Deering, which I think, poor, silly man! I shall be 
glad of, it being too much he should suffer for endeavouring 
to serve us. Thence to St. James’s, where the Duke of 
York was playing in the Pell Mell; and so he called me to 
him most part of the time that he played, which was an 
hour, and talked alone to me; and, among other things, 
tells me how the King will not yet be got to name anybody 
in the room of Pen, but puts it off for three or four days; 
from whence he do collect that they are brewing something 
for the Navy, but what he knows not; but I perceive is 
vexed that things should go so, and he hath reason; for he 
told me that it is likely they will do.in this as in other 
things—resolve first, and consider it and the fitness of it 
afterwards. Thence to White Hall, and met with Creed, 
and discoursed of matters; and I perceive by him that he 
makes no doubt but that all will turn to the old religion, for 
these people cannot hold things in their hands, nor prevent 
its coming to that; and by his discourse he fits himself for 
it and would have my Lord Sandwich do so, too, and me.

After a little talk with him, and particularly about the 
ruinous condition of Tangier, which I have a great mind to 
lay before the Duke of York, before it be too late, but dare 
not, because of his great kindness to Lord Middleton, we 
parted, and I homeward; but called at Povy’s, and there he 
stopped me to dinner, there being Mr. Williamson, the Lieu- 
tenant of the Tower,’ Mr. Child, and several others.. And 
after dinner, Povy and I together to talk of Tangier; and 
he would have me move the Duke of York in it, for it 
concerns him particularly, more than any, as being the head 
of us; and I do think to do it. 

4th. Walked with my wife in the garden, and my Lord 
Brouncker with us, who is newly come to W. Pen’s lodgings; 
and by and by comes Mr. Hooke; and my Lord, and he, and 
I into my Lord’s lodgings, and there discoursed of many 
fine things in philosophy, to my great content. 

5th. Up, and thought to have gone with Lord Brouncker 
to Mr. Hooke this morning betimes; but my Lord is taken 
ill of the gout, and says his new lodgings have infected him, 
he never having any symptoms of it till now. So walked 
to Gresham College, to tell Hooke that my Lord could not 
come; and so left word, he being abroad. To St. James’s, 
and thence, with the Duke of York, to White Hall, where 
the Board waited on him all the morning: and so at noon 
with Sir Thomas Allen, and Sir Edward Scott,? and Lord 
Carlingford,’ to the Spanish Ambassador’s,* where I dined 
the first time. The Olio not so good as Shere’s. There 
was at the table himself and a Spanish Countess, a good, 
' comely, and witty lady—three Fathers and us. Discourse, 
good and pleasant. And here was an Oxford scholar in a 
Doctor of Law’s gowne, sent from the College where the 
Embassador lay, when the Court was there, to salute him 
before his return to Spain. This man, though a gentle sort 
of scholar, yet sat like a focl for want of French or Spanish, 
but knew only Latin, which he spoke like an Englishman, 
to one of the Fathers. And by and by he and I to talk

and the company very merry at my defending Cambridge 
against Oxford: and I made much use of my French and 
Spanish here, to my great content. But the dinner not 
extraordinary at all, either for quantity or quality. Thence 
home to my wife, and she read to me the epistle of Cassan- 
dra," which is very good indeed; and the better to her, 
because recommended by Sheres. So to supper, and to 
bed. 

6th. Up, and by coach to Sir W. Coventry’s, but he gone 
out. I by water back to the Office, and there all the morn- 
ing: then to dinner, and then to the Office again, and anon 
with my wife by coach to take the ayre, it being a noble 
day, as far as the Greene Man,” mightily pleased with our 
journey, and our condition of doing it in our own coach, 
and so home, and to walk in the garden, and so to supper 
and to bed, my eyes being bad with writing my Journal, 
part of it, to-night. 

7th. Up, and by coach to Sir W. Coventry’s; and there 
to talk with him a great deal with great content; and so to 
the Duke of York, having a great mind to speak to him 
about Tangier; but, when I came to it, his interest for my 
Lord Middleton is such that I dared not. I passed by 
Guildhall, which is almost finished, and saw a poor labourer 
carried by, I think, dead, with a fall, as many there are, I 
hear. To see my Lord Brouncker, who is a little ill of 
the gout; and there Madam Williams told me that she 
heard that my wife was going into France this year, which 
I did not deny, if I can get time, and I pray God I may. 
But I wondering how she come to know it, she tells me

Oxon, Bart. The building, on which were his initials, with those of his 
wife, and the date 1609, was afterwards converted into a public-house, 
with the sign of the Green Man, and a century ago had in the front the 
following inscription :— 

“Ye are welcome. all

A club, styling themselves “the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Coit

occasioned a scene similar to that of a country wake or fair.—Lewis’s

a woman that my wife spoke to for a maid, did tell her so, 
and that a lady that desires to go thither, would be glad to 
go in her company. Thence with my wife abroad, with our 
coach, most pleasant weather; and to Hackney, and into 
the marshes, where I never was before, and thence round 
about to Old Ford and Bow. Home, and there met with a 
letter from Captain Silas Taylor, and, with it, his written 
copy of a play that he hath wrote, and intends to have acted. 
It is called “ The Serenade, or, Disappointment,” which 
I will read, not believing he can make any good of that 
kind. He did once offer to show Harris it, but Harris 
told him that he would judge by one Act, whether it were 
good or no, which is indeed a foolish saying, and we see 
them out themselves in the choice of a play after they have 
read the whole, it being sometimes not fit to act above three 
times; nay, and some that have been refused at one house, 
is found a good one at the other. This made Taylor say he 
would not show it him, but is angry, and hath carried it to 
the other house, and he thinks that it will be acted there, 
though he tells me they are not yet agreed upon it. But I 
will find time to get it read to me, and I did get my wife 
to begin a little to-night in the garden, but not so much as 
I could make my judgment of it. 

8th. Up, and to the Office, and there comes Lead to me, 
and at last my vizards are done, and glasses got to put in 
and out, as I will; and I think I have brought it to the 
utmost, both for easiness of using and benefit, that I can; 
and so I paid him 15s. for what he hath done now last, in 
the finishing them, and they, I hope, will do me a great deal 
of ease. At the Office all the morning, and this day, the 
first time, did alter my side of the table, after above eight 
years sitting on that next the fire. But now I am not able 
to bear the light of the windows in my eyes, I do begin 
there, and I did sit with much more content than I had 
done on the other side for a great while, and in winter the 
fire will not trouble my back. After dinner, all the after- 
noon within, with Mr. Hater, Gibson, and W. Hewer, read- 
ing over and drawing up new things in the Instructions of 
Commanders, which will be good, and I hope to get them 
confirmed by the Duke of York, though I perceive nothing 
will effectually perfect them but to look over the whole body 


170 DIARY OF [10th May, 


of the Instructions, of all the Officers of a ship, and make 
them all perfect together. This being done, comes my book- 
seller, and brings me home my collection of papers, about 
my Addresse to the Duke of York in August, bound, which 
makes me glad, it being that which shall do me more right 
many years hence than, perhaps, all I ever did in my life: 
and therefore I do, both for my own and the King’s sake, 
value it much. By and by also comes Browne, the mathe- 
matical instrument maker, and brings me home my instru- 
ment for perspective, made according to the description of 
Dr. Wren’s, in the late Transactions; and he hath made it, 
I think, very well, and that, that I believe will do the thing, 
and therein gives me great content; but I have, I fear, all 
the content that must be received by my eyes, which are 
almost lost. 


9th. (Lord’s day.) Up; and, after dressing in my best - 


suit with gold trimming, to the Office; and, when church- 
time, to church with my wife. Dr. Mills preached a dull 
sermon, and so we home to dinner; and thence by coach to 
St. Andrew’s, Holborne, thinking to have heard Dr. Stilling- 
fleete preach, but we could not get a place, and so to St. 
Margaret’s, Westminster, and there heard a sermon, and 
did get a place, the first we have heard there these many 
years. Thence towards the Park, but too soon to go in, so 
went on to Knightsbridge, and there eat and drank at “‘ The 
World’s End,’ where we had good things, and then back 
to the Park, and there till night, being fine weather, and 
much company, and so home. ‘This day I first left off both 
my waistcoats by day, and my waistcoat by night, it being 
very hot weather, so hot as to make me break out, here 
and there, in my hands, which vexes me to see, but is good 
for me. 

10th. Troubled, about three in the morning, with my wife’s 
calling her maid up, and rising herself, to go with her coach 
abroad, to gather May-dew,” which she did, and I troubled for 
it, for fear of any hurt, going abroad so betimes, happening to 
her; but I to sleep again, and she come home about six. To 


White Hall, where the Duke of York met the Office, and 


there discoursed of several things, particularly the In- 


1See 3lst March, posi. 2See ante, 28th May, 1667. 


1669] SAMUEL PEPYS 171 


structions of Commanders of ships. But here happened 
by chance a discourse of the Council of Trade, against 
which the Duke of York is mightily displeased, and par- 
ticularly Mr. Child, against whom he, speaking hardly, 
Captain Cox did second the Duke of York, by saying that 
he was talked of for an unfair dealer with masters of ships, 
about freight: to which Sir T. Littleton very hotly and 
foolishly replied presently, that he never heard any honest 
man speak ill of Child; to which the Duke of York did 
make a smart reply, and was angry; so as I was sorry to 
hear it come so far, and that I, by seeming to assent to 
Cox, might be observed too much by Littleton, though I 
said nothing aloud, for this must breed great heart-burnings. 
After this meeting done, the Duke of York took the Trea- 
surers into his closet to chide them, as Mr. Wren tells me; 
for that my Lord Keeper did last night at the Council say, 
when nobody was ready to say any thing against the consti- 
tution of the Navy, that he did believe the Treasurers of the 
Navy had something to say, which was very foul on their 
part, to be parties against us. They being gone, Mr. Wren 
and I took boat, thinking to dine with my Lord of Canter- 
bury;’ but, when we came to Lambeth, the gate was shut, 
which is strictly done at twelve o’clock, and nobody comes 
in afterwards; so we lost our labour, and therefore back to 
White Hall, and thence walked to my Lord Crewe, whom 
I have not seen since he was sick, which is eight months 
ago, I think, and there dined with him: he is mightily 
broke. A stranger, a country gentleman, was with him: 
and he pleased with my discourse accidentally about the 
decay of gentlemen’s families in the country, telling us that 
the old rule was, that a family might remain fifty miles from 
London one hundred years, one hundred miles from London 
two hundred years, and so farther or nearer London more 
or less years. He also told us that he hath heard his father 
say, that in his time it was so rare for a country gentleman 
to come to London, that, when he did come, he used to make 
his will before he set out. Thence to St. James’s, and there 
met the Duke of York, who told me, with great content, 
that he did now think he should master nur adversaries, for

that the king did tell him that he was satisfied in the con- 
stitution of the Navy, but that it was well to give these 
people leave to object against it, which they having not 
done, he did give order to give warrant to the Duke of York, 
to direct Sir Jeremy Smith to be a Commissioner of the 
Navy in the room of Pen; which, though he be an imperti- 
nent fellow, yet I am glad of it, it showing that the other 
side is not so strong as it was; and so, in plain terms, the 
Duke of York did tell me, that they were every day losing 
ground; and particularly that he would take care to keep 
out Child: at all which I am glad, though yet I dare not 
think myself secure, as the King may yet be wrought upon 
by these people to bring changes in our Office, and remove 
us, ere it be long. ‘To White Hall, toa Committee of Tan- 
gier, where I see all things going to rack in the business 
of the Corporation, and consequently in the place, by Mid- 
dleton’s going. Thence walked a little with Creed, who 
tells me he hears how fine my horses and coach are, and 
advises me to avoid being noted for it, which I was vexed 
to hear taken notice of, being what I feared: and Povy 
told me of my gold-laced sleeves in the Park yesterday, 
which vexed me also, so as to resolve never to appear 
in Court with them, but presently to have them taken 
off, as it is fit I should, and so called at my tailor’s for that 
purpose. 

llth. My wife again up by four o’clock, to go to gather 
May-dew; and so back home by seven, to bed. In the even- 
ing my wife and I all alone, with but the boy, by water, up 
as high as Putney almost, with the tide, and back again, 
neither staying, going nor coming; but talking, and sing- 
ing, and reading a foolish copy of verses upon my Lord 
Mayor’s entertaining of all the bachelors, designed in praise 
to my Lord Mayor. Some trouble at Court for fear of the 
Queen’s miscarrying; she being, as they all conclude, far 
gone with child. 

12th. To Westminster Hall; and there by chance met 
Roger Pepys, who come to town the last night: I was glad 
to see him. After some talk with him and others, and 
among others, Sir Charles Harbord and Sidney Montagu, 
the latter of whom is to set out to-morrow towards Flan- 


ie

ders and Italy, I invited them to dine with me to-morrow. 
After dinner, my wife and I to the Duke of York’s play- 
house, and there, in the side balcony, over against the 
musick, did hear, but not see, a new play, the first day 
acted, “‘ The Roman Virgin,” an old play, and but ordinary, 
I thought; but the trouble of my eyes with the light of the 
candles did almost kill me. Thence to my Lord Sand- 
wich’s, and there had a promise from Sydney to come and 
dine with me to-morrow; and so my wife and I home in 
our coach, and there find my brother John, as I looked for, 
come to town from Ellington,’ where, among other things, 
he tells me the first news that my sister Jackson is with 
child, and far gone, which I know not whether it did more 
trouble or please me, having no great care for my friends to 
have children, though I love other people’s. So, glad to see 
him, we to supper, and so to bed. 

13th. At noon comes my Lord Hinchinbroke, and Sid- 
ney, and Sir Charles Harbord, and Roger Pepys, and dined 
with me; and had a good dinner, and very merry with us 
all the afternoon, it being a farewell to Sidney; and so 
in the evening they away, and I to my business at the 
Office, and so to supper, and talk with my brother, and so 
to bed. 

14th. At noon with Mr. Wren, to Lambeth, to dinner 
with the Archbishop of Canterbury; the first time I was 
ever there, and I have long longed for it; where a noble 
house, and well furnished with good pictures and furniture, 
and noble attendance in good order, and a great deal of 
company, though an ordinary day; and exceeding great 
cheer, no where better, or so much, that ever I think I saw, 
for an ordinary table: and the Bishop mighty kind to me 
particularly, desiring my company another time, when less 
company there. Most of the company gone, and I going, 
I heard by a gentleman of a sermon that was to be there; 
and so I staid to hear it, thinking it serious, till by and by 
the gentleman told me it was a mockery, by one Cornet 


*A tragedy, altered by Thomas Betterton, from Webster’s Appius 
and Virginia. 


*In Huntingdonshire, the residence of Pepys’s brother-in-law, Mr. 
Jackson. 


174 DIARY OF [14th May, 


Bolton, a very gentleman-like man, that behind a chair did 
pray and preach like a Presbyter Scot, with all the possible 
imitation in grimaces and voice. And his text about the 
hanging up their harps upon the willows * and a serious 
good sermon too, exclaiming against Bishops, and crying up 
of my good Lord Eglinton,’ till it made us all burst; but I 
did wonder to have the Bishop at this time to make himself 
sport with things of this kind, but I perceive it was shown 
him as a rarity; and he took care to have the room-door 
shut, but there were about twenty gentlemen there, and 
myself, infinitely pleased with the novelty. So over to 
White Hall, to a little Committee of Tangier; and thence 
walking in the Gallery, I met Sir Thomas Osborne, who, to 
my great content, did of his own accord fall into discourse 
with me, with such professions of value and respect, placing 
the whole virtue of the Office of the Navy upon me, and 
that for the Comptroller’s place, no man in England was fit 
for it but me, when Sir J. Minnes, as he says it is necessary, 
is removed: but then he knows not what to do for a man in 
my place; and in discourse, though I have no mind to the 
other, I did bring in Tom Hater to be the fittest man in the 
world for it, which he took good notice of. But in the whole 
I was mightily pleased, reckoning myself fifty per cent. 
securer in my place than I did before think myself to 
be. Thence to Unthanke’s, and there find my wife, but 
not dressed, which vexed me, because of going to the 
Park, it being a most pleasant day after yesterday’s rain, 
which lays all the dust, and most people going out thither, 
which vexed me. So home, sullen; but then my wife and 
I by. water, with my brother, as high as Fulham, talking 
and singing, and playing the rogue with the Western 


1 Psalm cxxxyli. 2. 


2The person here alluded to is probably Alexander Montgomery, 
the sixth Earl of Eglintoun, called Greysteel, who was a rank Presby- 
terian, and a ruling Elder of the General Assembly, when the solemn 
League and Covenant were drawn up. He fought against Charles at 
Marston Moor, whilst his son and successor was in the King’s army: 
but he afterwards became a Royalist, and died in 1661, xt. 73, The 
son was a consistent supporter of Monarchy, and there seems no reason 
why he should have been made an object of satire. His death occurred 
only two months before the unseemly scene at Lambeth.

them. 

15th. Up, and at the Office all the morning. Dined at 
home, and Creed with me, and I did discourse about even- 
ing some reckonings with him in the afternoon; but I could 
not, for my eyes, do it, which troubled me, and vexed him 
that I would not; but yet we were friends, I advancing him 
money without it, and so to walk all the afternoon together 
in the garden; and I perceive that he do expect a change in 
our matters, especially as to religion, and fits himself for it 
by professing himself for it in his discourse.* He gone, I 
to my business at the Office, and so at night home to sup- 
per, and to bed. 

16th. (Lord’s day.) My wife and I at church, our pew 
filled with Mrs. Backewell, and six more that she brought 
with her, which vexed me at her confidence. I all the after- 
noon drawing up a foul draught of my petition to the Duke 
of York, about my eyes, for leave to spend three or four 
months out of the Office, drawing it so as to give occasion 
to a voyage abroad, which I did, to my pretty good liking; 
and then with my wife to Hyde Park, where a good deal of 
company, and good weather. 

17th. My wife and I and brother John by coach to the 
King’s playhouse, and saw “ The Spanish Curate” revived, 
which is a pretty good play, but my eyes troubled with see- 
ing it, mightily. Great news now of the French taking St. 
Domingo,* in Spaniola, from the Spaniards, which troubles 
us, that they should have got it, and have the honour of 
taking it, when we could not. 

18th. Dined in my wife’s chamber, she being much trou- 
bled with the tooth-ake, and I staid till a surgeon of hers 
come, one Leeson, who hath formerly drawn her mouth, 


and he advised her to draw it: so I to the Office, and

by and by word is come that she hath drawn it, which 
pleased me, it being well done. So I home to comfort 
her. 

19th. With my coach to St. James’s; and there finding 
the Duke of York gone to muster his men, in Hyde Park, 
I alone with my boy thither, and there saw more, walking 
out of my coach as other gentlemen did, of a soldier’s trade, 
than ever I did in my life: the men being mighty fine, and 
their Commanders, particularly the Duke of Monmouth; 
but methought their trade but very easy as to the muster- 
ing of their men, and the men but indifferently ready to 
perform what was commanded, in the handling of their 
arms. Here the news was first talked of Harry Killi- 
grew’s being wounded in nine places last night, by footmen, 
in the highway, going from the Park in a hackney-coach 
towards Hammersmith, to his house at Turnham Greene: 
they being supposed to be my Lady Shrewsbury’s men, 
she being by, in her coach with six horses; upon an old 
grudge of his saying openly that he had intrigued with her. 
Thence by and by to White Hall, and there I waited upon 
the King and Queen all dinner-time, in the Queen’s lodg- 
ings, she being in her white pinner,’ and appeared like a 
woman with child; and she seemed handsomer plain so, 
than when dressed. And by and by, dinner done, I out, 
and to walk in the Gallery, for the Duke of York’s coming 
out; and there, meeting Mr. May, he took me down about 
four o’clock to Mr. Cheffinch’s lodgings, and all alone did 
get me a dish of cold chickens, and good wine; and I dined 
like a prince, being before very hungry and empty. By 
and by the Duke of York comes, and readily took me to his 
closet, and received my petition, and discoursed about my 
eyes, and pitied me, and with much kindness did give me 
his consent to be absent, and approved. of my proposition to 
go into Holland to observe things there, of the Navy; but 


would first ask the King’s leave, which he anon did, and did — 


tell me that the King would be a good master to me, these 
were his words, about my eyes, and do like of my going 
into Holland, but do advise that nobody should know of my 
going thither, and that I should pretend to go into the 


1 Pin-afore, 


1669] SAMUEL PEPYS 177 


country somewhere, which I liked well. In discourse this 
afternoon, the Duke of York did tell me that he was the 
most amazed at one thing just now, that ever he was in his 
life, which was, that the Duke of Buckingham did just now 
come into the Queen’s bed-chamber, where the King was, 
with much mixed company, and among others, Tom Kailli- 
grew, the father of Harry, who was last night wounded so 
as to be in danger of death, and his man is quite dead; and 
Buckingham there did say that he had spoke with some one 
that was by, which person all the world must know must be his 
mistress, my Lady Shrewsbury, who says that they did not 
mean to hurt, but beat him, and that he did run first at 
them with his sword; so that he do hereby clearly discover 
that he knows who did it, and is of conspiracy with them, 
being of known conspiracy with her, which the Duke of 
York did seem to be pleased with, and said it might, per- 
haps, cost him his life in the House of Lords; and I find 
was mightily pleased with it, saying it was the most impu- 
dent thing, as well as the most foolish, that ever he knew 
man do in all his life. 

20th. Up and to the Office. At noon, the whole Office— 
Brouncker, J. Minnes, T. Middleton, Samuel Pepys, and 
Captain Cox, to dine with the Parish, at the Three Tuns, 
this day being Ascension-day, where exceeding good dis- 
course among the merchants. With my eyes mighty weary, 
and my head full of care how to get my accounts and busi- 
ness settled against my journey, home to supper, and to bed. 
Yesterday, at my coming home, I found that my wife had, 
on a sudden, put away Matt upon some falling out, and I 
doubt Matt did call her ill names by my wife’s own dis- 
course; but I did not meddle to say anything upon it, but 
let her go, being not sorry, because now we may get one 
that speaks French, to go abroad with us. 

21st. I waited with the Office upon the Duke of York, in 
the morning. Dined at home, where Lewis Phillips with a 
friend of his, dined with me. In the afternoon at the Office. 
In the evening visited by Roger Pepys and Philip Packer: 
and so home. 

23d. (Lord’s day.) Called up by Roger Pepys and his 
son, who to church with me, and then in the afternoon

carried them to Westminster, and myself to St. James’s, 
where, not finding the Duke of York, back home, and with 
my wife spent the evening taking the ayre about Hackney, 
with great pleasure. 

24th. 'To White Hall, where I attended the Duke of 
York, and was by him led to the King,’ who expressed great 
sense of my misfortune in my eyes, and concernment for 
their recovery; and accordingly signified, not only his as- 
sent to my desire therein, but commanded me to give 
them rest this summer, according to my late petition 
to the Duke of York. W. Hewer and I dined alone at the 
Swan; and thence, having thus waited on the King, spent 
till four o’clock in St. James’s Park, when I met my wife at 
Unthanke’s, and so home. 

25th. Dined at home; and the rest of the day, morning and 
afternoon, at the Office. 

26th. To White Hall, where all the morning. Dined with 
Mr. Cheffinch, with Alderman Backewell, and Spragg. The 
Court full of the news from Captain Hubbert, of “ The Mil- 
fort,” touching his being affronted in the Streights, shot at, 
and having eight of his men killed by a French man-of-war, 
calling him “ English dog,” and commanding him to strike, 
which he refused, and, as knowing himself much too weak 
for him, made away from him. The Queen, as being sup- 
posed with child, fell ill, so as to call for Madam Nun, 
Mr. Cheffinch’s sister, and one of her women, from dinner 


from us; this being the last day of her doubtfulness touch- — 


ing her being with child; and they were therein well con- 
firmed by her Majesty’s being well again before night. One 


Sir Edmund Bury Godfry,’? a woodmonger and Justice of — 


21t seems doubtful whether the expression of being led to the King — 


has any reference to the defective state of Pepys’s vision. Perhaps, he 
might wish to make the most of this infirmity, in the hope of strengthen- 
ing his claim for leave of absence. 


2The history of Sir Edmund Bury Godfrey is too well known to 
require any comment, though his tragical end has never been satisfac- — 
torily made out. In the Gentleman's Magazine for October, 1848, — 


there are some interesting details about the Knight’s family, and a de- 
scription and plate of a silver cup, which seems to have been presented 


to him by the King for his important services during the Plague and

Peace in Westminster, having two days since arrested Sir 
Alexander Frazier’ for about 30/. in firing, the bailiffs were 
apprehended, committed to the porter’s lodge, and there, by 
the King’s command, the last night severely whipped; from 
which the Justice himself very hardly escaped, to such an 
unusual degree was the King moved therein. But he lies 
now in the lodge, justifying his act, as grounded upon the 
opinion of several of the Judges, and among others, my 
Lord Chief-Justice, which makes the King very angry with 
the Chief-Justice, as they say; and the Justice do lie and 
justify his act, and says he will suffer in the cause for the 
people, and do refuse to receive almost any nutriment. The 
effects of it may be bad to the Court. 

27th. Presented this day by Mr. Browne with a book of 
drawing by hin, lately printed,’ which cost me 20s., to him. 
In the afternoon to the Temple, to meet with Auditor Ald- 
worth® about my interest account, but failed of meeting him. 
To visit my cozen Creed, and found her ill at home, being - 
with child, and looks poorly. Thence to her husband, at 
Gresham College, upon some occasions of Tangier; and so 
home, with Sir John Bankes with me, to Mark Lane. 

28th. To St. James’s, where the King’s being with the 
Duke of York prevented a meeting of the Tangier Commis- 
sion. But, Lord! what a deal of sorry discourse did I hear 
between the King and several Lords about him here! but 


the Fire of London, and is now in the possession of the Corporation of 
Sudbury.

*A curious and uncommon book entitled “4 Compendious Drawing- 
Book, composed by Alexander Browne, limner, collected from the draw- 
ings of the most celebrated painters in Europe, engraven by Arnold de 
Jode.” A second edition with letter-press, and additions, was pub- 
lished in 1675, under the title of Ars Pictoria. 


§Richard Aldworth, of Stanlake, Berks, then one of the Auditors of 
the Exchequer, represented Reading in the first Parliament after the 
Restoration, and died in 1680. He was the paternal ancestor of the 
second and third Lords Braybrooke. In 1762, the Auditor’s grandson, 
Richard Neville Aldworth, succeeded to the estates of the Nevilles of 
Billingbear, in Berkshire, in right of his mother, who was their sole 
heir, and whose maiden name he assumed. The Auditor’s portrait, by 
Lely, is still at Billingbear.

very mean, methought. So with Creed to the Excise Office, 
and back to White Hall, where, in the Park, Sir G. Carteret 
did give an account of his discourse lately, with the Com- 
missioners of Accounts, who except against many things, 
but none that I find considerable: among others, that of 
the Officers of the Navy selling of the King’s goods, and 
particularly my providing him with calico flags, which 
having been by order, and but once, when necessity, and 
the King’s apparent profit justified it, as conformable to my 
particular duty, it will prove to my advantage that it be 
enquired into. Nevertheless, having this morning received 
from them a demand of an account of all monies within 
their cognizance, received and issued by me, I was willing, 
upon this hint, to give myself rest, by knowing whether 
their meaning therein might reach only to my Treasurer- 
ship for Tangier, or the monies employed on this occasion. 
I went, therefore, to them this afternoon, to understand 
what monies they meant, where they answered me by say- 
ing, ‘The eleven months’ tax, customs, and prize-money, 
without mentioning, any more than I demanding, the ser- 
vice they respected therein; and so, without further discourse, 
we parted, upon very good terms of respect, and with few 
words, but my mind not fuily satisfied about the monies they 
mean. With my wife and brother spent the evening on the 
water, carrying our supper with us, as high as Chelsea, making 
sport with the Westerne bargees,’ and my wife and I singing, 
to my great content. ; 

29th. The King’s birthday. To White Hall, where all 
very gay; and particularly the Prince of Tuscany very fine, 
and is the first day of his appearing out of mourning, since 
he came. I hear the Bishop of Peterborough’ preach but 
dully; but a good anthem of Pelham’s. Home to dinner, 
and then with my wife to Hyde Park, where all the even- 
ing: great store of company, and great preparations by the 
Prince of Tuscany to celebrate the night with fire works, for 
the King’s birthday. And so home. 

30th. (Whitsunday.) By water to White Hall, and thence 


* Still a cant term for the Thames bargemen.

1669] - SAMUEL PEPYS 181 


to Sir W. Coventry, where all the morning by his bed-side, 
he being indisposed. Our discourse was upon the notes I 
have lately prepared for Commanders’ Instructions; but 
concluded that nothing will render them effectual, without 
an amendment in the choice of them, that they be seamen, 
and not gentlemen above the command of the Admiral, by 
the greatness of their relations at Court. Thence to White 
Hall, and dined with Mr. Cheffinch and his sister; whither 
by and by came in Mr. Progers and Sir Thomas Allen, 
and by and by, fine Mrs. Wells,» who is a great beauty; 
and there I had my full gaze upon her, to my great con- 
tent, she being a woman of pretty conversation. Thence 
to the Duke of York, who, with the officers of the Navy, 
made a good entrance on my draught of my new Instruc- 
tions to Commanders, as well expressing his general views 
of a reformation among them, as liking of my humble offers 
towards it. Thence being called by my wife, we to the 
Park, whence the rain sent us suddenly home. 

3lst. Up very betimes, and continued all the morning 
with W. Hewer, upon examining and stating my accounts, 
in order to the fitting myself to go abroad beyond sea, which 
the ill condition of my eyes, and my neglect for a year or 
two, hath kept me behind-hand in, and so as to render it 
very difficult now, and troublesome to my mind to do it; 
but I this day made a satisfactory entrance therein. Had 
another meeting with the Duke of York, at White Hall, on 
yesterday’s work, and made a good advance: and so, being 
called by my wife, we to the Park, Mary Batelier, and a 
Dutch gentleman, a friend of hers, being with us. Thence 
to “ The World’s End,” a drinking-house by the Park; and 
there merry, and so home. 


And thus ends all that I doubt I shall be ever able to do 
with my own eyes in the keeping of my Journal, I being 
not able to do it any longer, having done now so long as to 
undo my eyes almost every time that I take a pen in my 
hand; and, therefore, whatever comes of it, I must forbear: 
and, therefore, resolve, from this time forward, to have it 
kept by my people in long-hand, and must be contented to 


1See 8th February, 1662-3. 


182 SAMUEL PEPYS [Bist May, 1669 


set down no more than is fit for them and all the world to 
know; or, if there be any thing, I must endeavor to keep a 
margin in my book open, to add, here and there, a note in 
short-hand with my own hand. 

And so I betake myself to that course, which is valsa sib 
as much as to see myself go into my grave: for which, and 
all the discomforts that will accompany my being blind, the 
good God prepare me!

My Lord—Your Lordship’s of the 25th instant (new style), from 
Paris, came this day to my hand, and, as you command, I have taken 
care for a ship of 36 guns to attend you at Calais, to be there by the 
Ist of next month, English style. The Captain, I am sure, will make 
it his care to express all manner of respects to your Lordship in your 
passage. Your landing I have thought best to assign to Dover, in the 
Captain’s instructions, where some advice from my Lady shall meet your 
Lordship. I shall forbear saying more in this, intending what I have 
either of news, or anything else I have to inform your Lordship of, 
to send you by the next post to Calais: therefore take leave, being 
Your Lordship’s ever affectionate and humble servant, 
S. Pepys.

Wee have hastily hurried in what provisions wee had by us, and 
without stayinge for more, or for any other supply of men, wee are 
now got under sayle. I beleeve wee have neer 15 dayes drincke in the 
fleete, and our actuall condition will be much as it is stated in the ac- 
count you sent me, but not soe if wee had continued at whole allowance 
and beene full manned. 

I have writicn largely of all particulars to none but my brother, 
Sir Geo. Carteret, with whom I wish you to correspond. There be 
many thinges necessarye for present care against the fleet’s returne; 
I pray use your best care for them. 

God send you good newes of us, and that at my returne I may 
find your family and my other friends in health and prosperity!

should long since have paid your Ladyship by mine, had it been fit 
for me (during my indispensable attendance alone in the city) to 
have ventured the affrighting you with any thing from thence. But 
now that by the dispatch of the fleet I am at liberty to retire wholly 
to Woolwich, where I have been purging my inkhorn and papers these 
six days, your Ladyship shall find no further cause to reproach me my 
silence. And in amends for what’s past, let me conjure you, Madam, 
to believe that no day hath passed since my last kissing your hands 
without my most interested wishes for your health and the uninterrupted 
prosperity of your Ladyship and family.

192 CORRESPONDENCE OF 


I took care for the present disposal of what were inclosed in your 
Ladyship’s to me; and, in answer to that to Dagenhams, return these 
from my Lady Wright, who, in her’s to myself, gives assurance of my 
Lord Hinchingbroke’s being got up, and the -health of the rest of her 
family. 

My Lord Sandwich is gone to sea, with a noble fleet, in want of 
nothing but a certainty of meeting the enemy. 

My best Lady Sandwich, with the flock at Hinchingbroke, was, 

by my last letters, very well. 
- The absence of the Court and emptiness of the city takes away 
all occasion of news, save only such melancholy stories as would 
rather sadden than find your Ladyship any divertisement in the 
hearing; I having stayed in the city till above 7400 died in one week, 
and of them above 6000 of the plague, and little noise heard day or 
night but tolling of bells; till I could walk Lumber-street, and not meet 
twenty persons from one end to the other, and not 50 upon the Ex- 
change; till whole families, 10 and 12 together, have been swept away; 
till my very physician, Dr. Burnet, who undertook -to secure me against 
any infection, having survived the month of his own house being shut 
up, died himself of the plague: till the nights, though much lengthened, 
are grown too short to conceal the burials of those that died the day 
before, people being thereby constrained to borrow daylight for that 
service: lastly, till I could find neither meat nor drink safe, the but~ 
cheries being every where visited, my brewer’s house shut up, and my 
baker, with his whole family, dead of the plague. 

Yet, Madam, through God’s blessing, and the good humours begot 
in my attendance upon our late Amours,’ your poor servant is in a 
perfect state of health, as well as resolution of employing it as your 
Ladyship and family shall find work for it. 

How Deptford stands, your Ladyship is, I doubt not, informed 
from nearer hands. 

Greenwich begins apace to be sickly; but we are, by the command of 
the King, taking all the care we can to prevent its growth; and 
meeting to that purpose yesterday, after sermon, with the town officers, 
many doleful informations were brought us, and, among others, this, 
which I shall trouble your Ladyship with the telling—Compiaint was 
brought us against one in the town for receiving into his house a 
child newly brought from an infected house in London. Upon inquiry, 
we found that it was the child of a very able citizen in Gracious Street, 
who, having lost already all the rest of his children, and himself and 
wife being shut up and in despair of escaping, implored only the liberty

Diary, 31st July, 1665.

of using the means for the saving of this only babe, which with diffi- 
culty was allowed, and they suffered to deliver it, stripped naked, out 
at a window into the arms of a friend, who, shifting into fresh cloathes, 
conveyed it thus to Greenwich, where, upon this information from 
Alderman Hooker,' we suffer it to remain, 

This I tell your Ladyship as one instance of the miserable streights 
our poor neighbours are reduced to. 

But, Madam, I’ll go no further in this disagreeable discourse, hop- 
ing, from the coolness of the last 7 or 8 days, my next may bring you 
a more welcome accompt of the lessening of the disease, which God 
say Amen to, 

Dear Madam, do me right to my good Lady Slaning, in telling her 
that I have sent and sent again to Mr. Porter’s lodging, who is in the 
country, for an answer to my letter about her Ladyship’s business, 
but am yet unable to give her any accompt of it. 

My wife joins with me in ten thousand happy wishes to the young 
couple, and as many humble services to your Ladyship and them, my 
Lady Slaning, Lady Scott, and Mr. Sidney, whose return to Scott’s- 
hall, if not burthensome to your Ladyship, will, I am sure, be as full of 
content to him as it will ever be of joy and honour to me to be 
esteemed, 

Dearest Madam, 
Your Ladyship’s most affectionate and 
obedient servant, 
SamveEt Pepys. 


B.L. orig.j Sir W” Coventry to S. Pepys. 


Oxford, November 7, 1665, 

Sir—Yours of 4th I have receaved with the enclosed, for which I 
return you thankes. Some recompences, I well remember, in the Dutch 
warre, which much exceeded those sette down, as to Capt” Ball 12001., and 
others in the same booke and folio. If I were at St. James’s, my notes 
would referre mee to it; but these may bee more proper for the ordi- 
hary rewards, which God send the King may goe through with; for the 
extraordinary, hee may doe as hee pleaseth upon emergencies. ‘ 

I am glad Rear-Admiral Harman has sailed: if God send him good 
lucke, I hope our reputation may out-goe the Dutch yet. For the close 
of the yeare, I thinke such a Committee of Commanders as my Lord 
Sandwich mentions ntay bee very good, if well chosen: pray desire my 
Lord he propose some fitt men for it. I did send to tempt the Com- 
Manders in the fleet to enquire into the vast and extrayagant expence

VOL. IV. (*) 


194 CORRESPONDENCE OF 


of victualls, but could gett noe returne of it. Something Sir W™ Penn 
hath sent me, a draught for a Supplimentall Instruction to Commanders, 
of which, either by this or the next conveyance, you shall have a copy. 
It is not hard to make good rules, but to gett them executed is the 
difficulty, especially when there is soe much worke to doe, and that 
Commanders and all sort of Officers knowe their owne value enough 
to beleeve that the King would not easily part with a good fighting 
Captain for a neglect of keeping a good checque upon his Purser. How- 
ever, pray lett us try what can bee done in itt; possibly, when the rule 
comes recommended from the Commanders themselves, it will bee 
better observed. I will alsoe write to my Lord Sandwich about it. 

My last gave you my reasons against your coming hither; because 
Sir G. Carteret was gone to London to gett money, and, at the time 
of his being there, I held your presence necessary there. 

For God’s sake, hasten some clothes to Portsmouth. If the Board 
be satisfied in the need of a Boatswain of the Yard at Harwich as 
yett, I shall be ready to procure the warrant for any man whoe shall 
be well certified for it. For the matter of hempe, all I can say is, 
oportet haberi; and then, redime te captwm quam queas minimo. 

If money bee not speedily procured, I expect every day shall produce 
worse and worse effects: but I hope Mr. Vice-Chamberlaine* will cure 
all that mischeife. 

I am sorroy Sir W™ Batten hath bin soe rudely handeled, and that 
the Office hath lost its security. I hope a supply of money will sett 
it all right; and could heartily wish the Court were neerer London, to 
bee ready both to advise and execute better then at this distance wee 
can doe. I hope a little more decrease of the plague will make some- 
body valiant enough to advise it; though, it concerning his Majesty’s and 
his Royal Highness’s safety, I am not soe corragious, at least as yett, 
though I confesse I wish it. 

The expedient you offer of buying the seamen’s ticketts, if it were 
certaine that it would bee exactly and sacredly executed, were an ex- 
cellent one, and worthy the King’s paying the abatement, that soe the 
seamen might receave the whole, which is, above all, to bee endeavoured: 
but though I have a good opinion of the person you named, yet I can- 
not say I am sure noe more profitt should bee made, and nothing 
abated, unlesse there were a place appointed, and a sett hire for it; 
when a clarke, or some trusty person, might attend to see it done. 
What shall be approved for one man in this matter, will soone be altered 
for others alsoe, and at last it will fall into hands to make ill use of it. 
Why might not the motley be as well paid to the Treasurer, and then 
issued only for ticketts? but, I suppose, the answer may bee, money 
will thus issue only by small summes, and soe easier compassed. To that 
I can reply nothing, but that, if it can bee done noe otherwise to take 

1Sir G. Carteret. 


SAMUEL PEPYS 195 


off the reproach to the King’s service and abuse to the seamen, I am 
of opinion there ought to bee a checque upon it. If you thinke fitt to 
speake with Sir G. Carteret upon it, perhaps some good may come of 
it; if any thing bee done, pray lett me heare. I am cleare of opinion 
the King had better beare twice the losse of 12d. per T. then lett the 
seamen bear itt. 

It is most necessary the men to the westward should bee then sup- 
plied with clothes: it is well if the slopsellers can furnish the rest of 
the ships. If Sir John Skelton or any else can furnish them, hee shall 
doe a good service. If the price were greater, and the cloathes better, 
the seaman would bee a gainer. 

I shall, the first Councill Day, propose Mr. Furiers complaint of 
the Justice. 

I doubt I have burned Captain Reynolds his letter of his brave 
retreate from the Dutch fleet: if I find it, I will send it to you, 
but I thinke it will not conduce to your purpose, hee having bin only 
at Hull, as I conceave, and not at Newcastle, where, I suppose, Mr Deer- 


ings ships are. 
I am, your affectionate humble Servant, 


W. CoventTrRY. 


According to the hopes there may be of having the ships ready, which 
are building at or neere Bristoll, so must there be provision made of 
victualls for them at Bristoll, and not at Milford; that soe no time 
may bee lost to run from one port to another for victualls. Pray know 
by what time each contract-ship building may be ready, and send mee 
word how many ships we expect to bee built in all, for I think some 
were ordered and others forbid after I went to sea. 

Sir W™ Penn hath sent mee reasons which seeme to me of good 
force, for paying the Soveraigne by ticketts, rather than by a pay 
at Chatham. I hope the Board will think so.

Sir—Not only, in my opinion, is the chain broke, but, in the opinion 
of, I think, all who have been with me there at any time, and have 
well considered the lyeing of the floots, whereof but three at most 
remain. And hitherto wee could do no more than guesse, because 
yet wee could nether spare hands nor lighter to underrunn it: but now 
I entend to remove it as high as the battery next below the castle, and

I am here, I have been so ill, that I was not able to bestow the paines 
I intended on the scheme’ I send you, which will onely serye you to 
preserve our reproach in memory, and my little skill in designing: but 
I have done it as I could, and as it appear’d to me from the hill above 
Gillingham. The draught, which I follow for Chatham River, is from 
an old paper lying by me, and not from any printed map; and some

you that the sight of it hath led me to such reflections on my particu-

29th September, 1668. 

May it please your Lordship—Just now are arrived the tidings of 
your Lordship’s safe arrival at Portsmouth, which I beg your Lordship 
to believe me to receive with that welcomeness which is due to what- 
ever, by the greatest obligations of duty and gratitude, I ought most 
to be concerned for. I am not without hopes of getting leave to wait 
upon your Lordship before you reach London; therefore shall spare 
the troubling your Lordship with any other present matters, than that 
being yesterday made acquainted by my Lord of Hinchingbroke, and 
Mr. Sidney Montagu, with the straights they found themselves under 
of providing a sum of money for the answering your Lordship’s present 
occasions; and, being unwilling your Lordship should want what part 
thereof I could by any shift supply, I undertook, for the present, fur- 
nishing your Lordship with 500/.; and not knowing what present use 
thereof your Lordship might have at Portsmouth, nor what conveniencies 
my Lord of Hinchingbroke might have of a speedy remitting any 
thither, I acquainted his Lordship this night, that I would take care 
for your Lordship’s being furnished with 200]. there; which I have done 
by the enclosed bill to Mr. Salisbury, not only for that sum, but that 
your Lordship might be the less straightened, for the whole 500I.: 
though the more your Lordship leaves to receive here, the better it would 
Suit with my occasions to comply therewith. 

I shall need not to say anything particularly touching the healthful 
state of your Lordship’s family, believing that that will be abundantly 
told your Lordship by others. The freshest court news is, that Sir 
John Trevor was this day sworn Secretary of State in the room of 
Sir William Morrice, and Prince Rupert invested in the Constableship 


the See (Paul III), asking for redress. His Holiness enquired where he was 

The other replied, “in Heil.” “Ah,” said the Pope, “if you, were 

or in me, I might help you, but in Hell nulla est redemptio!” This is 

ly the sto: enboned by Pepys. In the same spirit Kneller, in paintin 

the Beene at Hanbury, drew a likeness of Dr. Sacheverell, as being carrie 
off by one of the furies—See Nash’s Worcestershire, vol. i., p. 548.

C.] S. Pepys to Captain Thomas Elliott, 
One of the Bailiffs at Aldborough. 


Aldborough, July 1, 1669. 


Captain Elliott—Upon the late arrival of the news of Sir Robert 
Brookes’s death, who served as one of the Burgesses for the town 
of Aldborough, his R. H. was pleased, upon considerations of his 
own, to command me to endeavour after the procurement of the 
election of myself into this vacancy, an honour which I should not 
of myself have pretended to, as among other reasons, so in par- 
ticular from my being wholly a stranger to that corporation. But 
his R. H. having been thus pleased to think upon me, with a reso- 
lution of engaging his whole interest in the accomplishing of it, I 
think it my duty to obey him therein; and, in order thereto, to 
direct my first applications to yourself, whom his R. H. is pleased 
to pitch upon, as one of whose endeavours in the promoting of all, 
his Highness rests most assured: and in an especial manner relies 
upon your capacity and influence for doing the same in this par- 
ticular. The inclosed will deliver you his Highness’s mind under 
his own hand; and more particularly by another from Mr. Wren, 
to which I must be referred, having never yet had the good for- 
tune of serving you in any thing that might oblige you to the 
exercise of your interest and kindness in my behalf. But as your 
favour herein will be very acceptable to his R. H., so will it 


SAMUEL PEPYS 199 


engage, not only myself singly, but the whole body of this Office, 
upon all future occasions, to press their sense of your kindness 
shown to one of its members. Besides, that if his Highness’s 
desire herein do succeed, I do not despair of having opportunity 
of showing myself a faithful and useful servant to the corpora- 
tion. I shall not think it needful to offer you any advice touching 
the method of your proceedings, but submit the whole to your 
prudence: and I pray you to believe that I will see you fully and 
thankfully reimbursed for what charges shall attend the same: 
and pray that you will please to give me a speedy account of 
your thoughts and advice how his R. H.’s influence, or any 
other recommendation, may be most advantageously employed 
and directed for the obtaining of these our desires.

gives me not only assurance of your respects to me in general, 
but grounds of expecting a good issue to my desire, by the assist- 
ance of your interest in this particular; though Mr. Duke is not 
likely to contribute any thing to it. I shall make such use of the

God to afflict mee by the sickness of my wife, who, from the first 
day of her coming back to London, hath layn under a fever so 
severe, as at this hour to render her recoverie desperate; which 
affliction hath very much unfitted me for those acts of civilitie 
and respect which, amongst the first of my friends, I should have

March 3rd, 1669-70. 


Captain Elliott—I beg you earnestly to believe that nothing 
but the sorrow and distraction I have been in by the death of my 
wife, increased by the suddenness with which it pleased God to 
surprise me therewith, after a voyage so full of health and con- 
tent, could have forced me to so long a neglect of my private — 
concernments; this being, I do assure you, the very first day 
that my affliction, together with my daily attendance on other 
public occasions of his Majesty’s, has suffered me to apply myself 
to the considering any part of my private concernments; among 
which, that of my doing right to you is no small particular; and 
therefore, as your charity will, I hope, excuse me for my not 
doing it sooner, so I pray you to accept now, as late as it is, my 
hearty thanks for your multiplied kindness in my late affair at

you had gained, in reference to his Royal Highness’s and my 
Lord Howard’s desire on my behalf: in all which I can give you 
good assurance, that not only his Royal Highness retains a thankful 
memory of your endeavours to serve him, but I shall take upon me 
the preserving it so with him, that it may be useful to you when you 
shall have any occasion for asking his favour. The like I dare promise 
you from my Lord Howard, when he shall return; and both from 
them and myself make this kindness of yours, and the rest of those 
gentlemen of the town who were pleased to concur with you, as 
advantageous both to yourself and them, and to the Corporation also, 
as if the business had succeeded to the best of our wishes: and 
this I assure you, whether I shall ever hereafter have the honour of 
serving them in Parliament or not, having no reason to receive any 
thing with dissatisfaction in this whole matter, saving the particular 
disrespect which our noble master, the Duke of York, suffered from 
the beginning to the end, from Mr. Duke and Captain Shippman, who, 
I doubt not, may meet with a time of seeing their error therein. But 
I am extremely ashamed to find myself so much outdone by you in 
kindness, by your not suffering me to know the expense which this 
business has occasioned you; which I again entreat you to let me do, 
esteeming your pains, without that of your charge, an obligation greater 
than I can foresee opportunity of requiting, though I shall by no means 
omit to endeavour it. So with a repetition of my hearty acknowledg- 
ments of all your kindness, with my service to yourself and lady, and 
all my worthy friends about you, 
I remain, your obliged friend and humble servant,

Sir—I had this morning full discourse with the Lord Howard, who 

was telling mee how hee finds himself oppressed with his prerogative 
of recommending on elections: and how hee stands engaged to the 
King for Sir Francis North, to the Duchess of Cleveland for Sir 
John Trevor, hir councill and feoffee, and to the Duke for you: telling 
me by what circumstances the Duke attacked him: and I find not that 
hee hath any hesitation in the complying with the Duke on your behalf; 
though hee bee in much distraction how hee shall accommodate the 
other 2 persons. The present expedient is the putting what interests 
and force hee can for the getting the Solicitor elected at Lyn. Yet in 
that particular hee conflicts with a great dilemma; because Cook, a 
youth of the principall estate in Norfolk, stands at Lyn, and his Lord- 
ship is tender of giving him an opposition there, because the gent. of 
the countrie doe alreadie murmur at his disposing those places, upon 
which hee hath a full and perticular influence, upon strangers and 
courtiers, neglecting gentlemen of the countrie, who hold themselves 
disobliged thereby; and are more reasonably, perhaps, dissatisfied, that 
he concernes himself at Lyn, also, where hee ought to leave them to 
a free competition, without concerning himself. : 
’ I took noe notice that I had heard any thing of his concession to 
the Duke: but my advice is, that you goe on Monday to give him 4 
visitt at Arundell House, where I am sure you will not find him: but 
you are to seé the porter, to write down your name, and not forget 
the acquainting his Lordship that you were to waite on him. Hee 
goes on Monday into Surrey, to return on Tuesday; and perhaps to 
goe with the King on Wensday to the Fleet, where hee will receive 
your letter. It is not doubted but Sir Robert* will have his promised 
title, though I cannot yet heare that any thing is done in it. I shall in- 
quire somewhat more closely, and you shall receive what can bee col-

my Ladies for the honour at the same time done me, in their commands 
touching Mr. Bonithan. But, my Lord, I have lately had the mis- 
fortune of being undeceived in the latter, by coming to know the severity 
with which some of my Ladies are pleased to discourse of me in rela- 
tion thereto. I assure your Lordship, I was so big with the satisfaction 
of having an opportunity given me by my Ladies at once of obliging 
them, paying a small respect to you, and doing a good office to a 
deserving gentleman, that I did not let one day pass before I had 
bespoke and obtained his Majesty’s and Royal Highness’s promise — 
of favour in Mr. Bonithan’s behalf: and was so far afterwards from 

failing him in my further assistances with Captain Trevanion and 

others, that I took early care to secure him a lieutenancy, by a commis- 

sion actually signed for him by the king, in the ship Stavereene, relying 

upon the character Captain Trevanion had given me of his capacity 

to abide the examination, established by the King, upon the promotion } 
of lieutenants; which was not only the most I should have done in the ~ 
case of a brother, but more than ever I did in any man’s case before, : 
or, for his sake, do think I shall ever do again. True it is, my Lord, 
that when, upon his examination by the officers of the Navy, he was 4 
found not so fully qualified for the office of lieutenant as was requisite, 
I did with all respect, and to his seeming satisfaction, advise him to 
pass a little longer time in the condition he was then in, under a 
stricter application of himself to the practice of navigation. And, in 
pursuance of my duty to the King, I did acquaint him also with Mr. 
Bonithan’s present unreadiness; and had, therefore, a command given 
me for conferring the commission prepared for him upon another, who, | 
upon examination, at the same time with Mr. Bonithan, was found 
better qualified for it+ As to what I understand my Ladies are~ 
pleased to entertain themselves and others with, to my reproach, as i 
money had been wanting in the case, it is a reproach lost upon me, my 
Lord, who am known to be so far from needing any purgation im- 
the point of selling places, as never to have taken so much as my fee 
for a commission or warrant to any one officer in the navy, within the 
whole time, now near twenty years, that I have had the honour of 
serving His Majesty therein—a self-denial at this day so little im 
fashion, and yet so chargeable to maintain, that I take no pride, and 
as little pleasure in the mentioning it, further than it happily falls 
in here to my defence against the mistake the Ladies seem disposed” 
to arraign me by on this occasion. Besides that in the particular 
case of this gentleman, Lieut. Beele, who enjoys the commission de-— 
signed for Mr. Bonithan, he is one whose face I never saw either be-

Good Mr. Pepys—Though I thank you for the favour of your letter, 
yet I confess myself both much surprised and troubled to receive a 
letter from you upon such an occasion: so is my wife, who professes 
herself wholly innocent of any crime of charging you in thought, word, 
or deed, and hopes you will do her that right to believe so of her. 
My daughter’ Berkeley says she expressed some trouble that the friend 
she recommended had not success, and that she was told the Com- 
missioners of the Navy did report they had given the same recommenda- 
tions of the person she proposed, as they did of him that was accepted, 
for the lieutenant’s place; which my daughter, supposing to be true, 
wondered the more he lost the preferment: but by the copies enclosed 
in your’s, it appears her Ladyship was very much misinformed. As 
for Mrs. Henrietta,* she is extremely troubled in saying any thing that 
gave you offence: and, though she did not in the least intend it, yet 
she begs your pardon. And now, my good friend, though I am not 
under any accusation, and therefore need not say any thing to vindi- 
cate myself, yet give me leave, upon this occasion, to assure you, that 
there is no person has a better opinion of you than myself, nor is 
more sensible of your particular civilities to me; which I should be very 
glad to make a return of when in my power to serve you: and give 
me leave to add further, without flattery to you, and with great sin- 
cerity, that I believe our gracious master, His Majesty, is so fortunate 
in employing you in his service, that, if he should lose you, it would 
be very difficult for His Majesty to find a successor so well qualified 
in all respects for his service, if we consider both your integrity, vast 
abilities, industry, and zealous affections for his service; and, if His 
Majesty were asked the question, I will hold ten to one His Majesty 
declares himself of my opinion: so will I believe all that know you,

Sir—I have received your’s of the 16th inst., for which I return you 
my very kind thanks, and having very recently acquainted Sir John 
Biggs of my concerns in Sir Denis Gauden’s estate at Clapham, and 
had Sir Denis Gauden and himself together this afternoon, to dis- 
course the business as to your security for the money due to you from 
Sir Denis Gauden, I doubt not but that he will give you stich satis- 
faction therein as to my concerns, and the security offered by Sir Denis 
Gauden, for your satisfaction, as to prevent that trouble between us, 
which I am of opinion the attorney would engage us in. So that I 
shall not need to give you any further trouble in the matter, save the re- 
ferring you to Sir John Briggs, who promised me to give you an ac- 
count, as well as his opinion, of what has passed between us this 
ik Your faithful and humble Servant,

Good Cousin—I do kindly thank you for your letter of yester- 
day, assuring you that I am not surprised, much less under any dis- 
appointment from the contents of it; I knowing the world too well 
to expect more than is to be found in it: and I think mine to you 
did enough to show you what I asked was rather out of respect to 
the town of Castle Rising, as having once been their servant, than from 
any such advantage I propose to myself by it, as would suffer me to — 
give way to your entering upon any expense for it; I having the good 
fortune of being so much better understood elsewhere, as to have at 
this time invitations from the magistracy of no less than three’ several

than that of theirs, to accept of their elections. Therefore, pray be 
under no further care on my behalf in this matter; the satisfaction 
of haying discharged my duty to the gentlemen of Castle Rising being 
all I aim at, without troubling myself to reflect upon any forgetfulness 
on their parts towards me. As for those two worthy persons who 
now stand for their fayours, Sir Robert Howard and Sir John Baber, 
they are both my honoured friends,’ and as far as any interest of mine 
can bestead them, I do readily resign it to them. 

And for the kindness I. have received on this occasion from your-

I may be able to give, by suitable services to you and your family,

yours to me this morning, and mine since to you, with His Majesty’s 
and my Lord Treasurer’s commands touching Sir John Ernle,? who 
I now understand from his R. H. is in town, and has spoken to his 
R. H. concerning this matter; and received for answer what by the 
Duke’s command I have now to acquaint you with; which is, that 
Colonel Norton having, as you write, finally declined standing for the 
town, resolving to apply himself for Knight of the Shire, His R. H. 
does think it of great moment to His Majesty that Sir John Ernle be 
provided for, and that therefore all endeavours be used by Sir John 
Kempthorne, declining it; and otherwise that Sir John Ernle be chosen, 
in company with you, for that place. Which leaving with you by

Sir—Nothing in the world could be more kind nor more generous 
than your letter of the 13th, by the yacht. The prospect that you 
and I had of embracing one another is now vanished; but no distance 
of time or place shall in the least diminish that faithfull cordiall respect 
I have for your person, and that very high esteem I have for your 
merits. If there was any honour or new employment designed for me, 
when I was so suddenly called home, I’ll take leave to tell it in your 
bosome, that I bless God with all my soule that it is otherwise dis- 
posed of; for I have had enough of this world; God give me grace 
to prepare for another! “Tis true I am now putt upon a new com- 
mission, which, God knows, is a grief to me, and should never be my 
choice, if it were in my power. However, his Royal Highness may 
render it as easy as "tis, in the present circumstances, capable of being 
to an honest man, that cannot but be, at such a time as this, full 
of anguishes for his King and his Country. I beg your favour in 
delivering the enclosed to His Royal Highness: ’tis to petition him 
to that effect. I pray pardon me this boldnesse, and be pleas’d to 
believe that I am, with perfect truth,

arrival of Sir J. Narborough; for then we shall have some more 
strength at home, though not so much as I think ought to be at sea, 
considering the ships they say the French are fitting out. This goes

I would not let this bearer, Captain Sanders, go, without writing

to Antwerp, intending to have come hither in him; but, by the negli-

that I was forced to go on Board the Dutch yacht; but did not stir 
from thence till we got him off. She is now at Helveotsluys; and, if 
this wind continue, will soon be at Greenwich. I do intend to go to- 
morrow to Amsterdam; my chief business is to see the ships and 
magazines there. I design to be back on Friday, and the next week 
to return to Brussels. I long to hear of Sir J. Narborough’s being 
arrived with you, for one does not know what may happen as to 
France. I wish things may go, where you are, as they ought; and

Derby-House, May 6, 1679. 


May it please your Royal Highness—I acknowledge with all humility 
and thankfulness, the honour of your Highness’s letters of the 24th 
and 25th of the last, and do, with equal shame and grief, observe how 
much your Highness’s solicitude, even at this distance, for the security 
of this kingdom against the power of France, does exceed all that we 
ourselves have yet expressed upon that subject, otherwise than by a 
general but inactive restlessness under our apprehensions of the danger; 
but without any alteration made, since your Royal Highness’s departure, 
in the state of our ships or coasts, other than what is consequential to 
their having lain so much longer neglected. Sir John Narborough’s 
last letters were of the 7th and 17th of March, from Alicant, where, 
having newly met with his Majesty’s orders for his coming home, 


P2 


212 CORRESPONDENCE OF 


after a short visit to Algiers, he therein told me he would accordingly 
proceed forthwith to Port Mahon, for the settling some matters in 
that place, and from thence to Algiers; so as to be at’ Tangier, in his 
way homeward, about the 7th of April. Since which, though we have 
wanted advice from him wholly, yet, by a letter I have seen from a 
slave at Algier, of the Ist of April, it appears that he came before that 
town the 25th, and departed the 29th of March, after haying sent two 
of his captains ashore to treat of a peace, but without effect, This 
only is added by the slave, that, had Sir John Narborough staid one 
day more in the road, those of Algiers had certainly made a peace with 
him, that government having, it seems, afterwards expressed some 
trouble that it was not done; by which calculation of time we may now, 
from day to day, expect his being here. 

I have remembered your Highness’s command in reference to Cap- 
tain Lloyd’s being appointed one of the Newfoundland convoys, which 
his Majesty has been pleased to agree to, in company with Captain- 
Talbot, in the Mary Rose, Captain Priestman, in the Antelope, and 
Captain Kempthorne, in the Dover, and will take care that Mr. Hick- 
man be entertained as a volunteer with Captain Lloyd, How his 
Majesty has been pleased, among his other great changes, to dispose 
of the Admiralty, by a new Commission to these gentlemen, viz., Sir 
Henry Capel, Mr. Dan. Finch, Sir Tho. Ley, Sir Thomas Meres, Mr. 
Vaughan, Sir Hum. Winch, and Mr. Hales, of Kent, your Highness, 
I doubt not, has many days since known; nor shall I think it becoming 
me to interpose any thoughts of mine touching his Majesty’s choice 
therein, more than for his, and his service’s sake, I could wish his 
naval arrangements to be such as for a time might allow these worthy 
gentlemen opportunity of being informed in the work of their great 
office, before they be urged to much execution in it. And this I am 
the bolder in wishing, since they have taken upon themselves the 
performance of that branch of the Admiral’s task which his Majesty 
was pleased, for the ease of his last Commissioners, to reserve the 
trouble of to himself, namely, the issuing all sailing instructions to his 
fleet and ships; his Majesty having, at the instance of these gentle- 
men, put that part also in their hands, together with the granting 
of all officers in the navy, in the same manner as it has at any time been 
exercised by the Lords Admirals of England. 

For what concerns my own particular, your Highness was pleased 
to foretell me, at your going hence, what I was soon after to look 
for; and it is come to pass. For whether I will or no, a Papist 
I must be, because favoured by your Royal Highness, and found en- 
deavouring, on all fitting occasions, to express, in the best manner 
I can, the duty and gratitude due to your Highness from me. But 
how injuriously soever some would make those just endeavours of mine 


SAMUEL PEPYS 213 


towards your Highness inconsistent with Protestancy, neither they, 
nor any ill usage I can receive from them, shall, by the grace of God, 
make me any more quit the one, than I suspect your Royal Highness 
will ever take offence at my perseverance in the other. His Majesty 
is, indeed, pleased to express a much more fayourable opinion of 
me, and my slender qualifications for his service, than I dare own my 
right to; and as an instance thereof has not spared to tell me how 
much weight he is pleased to place upon my experience in the Navy, 
for supplying, by my Secretaryship, what his present choice of Commis- 
sioners may possibly be found less perfect in: nor shall I think it be- 
coming me to dispute the giving his Majesty my service on whatever 
terms he shall think fit to require it from me, 

But, as your Royal Highness well knows how far I had, not long 
since, made it my humble motion, and pressed it upon your favour, 
that after almost twenty years’ continued drudgery in the Navy, to 
the rendering myself almost blind, and otherwise disabled in health 
to support it much longer, his Majesty would be pleased to take the 
residue of my small service by admitting me into the Commission of 
the Admiralty: so truly, Sir, I have now, upon other considerations 
purely relative to his service, made the same motion to the King, upon 
occasion of this change. For if I was truly conscious of being become 
less able to bear the fatigue of my office any longer, under a Commis- 
sion that had many members of it competently furnished for its execu- 
tion, besides the easy and helpful recourse I had at all times had to 
his Majesty himself, and your Royal Highness, in matters needing it, 
and those, as old a Navyman as I am, not a few, how much less fit 
ought I to think myself to go through this task, when, not only stripped 
of all those helps, but, to say no worse, charged with a new piece of 
duty, and that not a little one, of informing those who should inform 
and are to command me; and I to remain accountable for all the ill 
suecess that should attend my obeying those commands, though prob- 
ably differing from my own advice. Besides, however fairly some of 
these gentlemen seemed disposed towards my continuance in this Sec- 
retaryship, yet that compliance of theirs I well know to be grounded 
upon some opinion they haye of the necessaryness of my seryice to 
them till they have obtained a stock of knowledge of their own; and 
then farewell! But others there be, with whom your Royal Highness 
knows, (what converts soever they are now to be thought!) I have for 
many years lived in a constant state of war, they censuring, and 
I defending, the management of the navy; and with such success on 
the nayy’s side, as to have always met with too great an appearance of 
His Majesty’s well accepting my humble endeavours therein, that, 
however our conjunction may now succeed in reference to His Majesty’s 
service, I should not promise myself any satisfaction from them, espe- 
cially upon terms so unequal, as my being brought down to be a 


214 CORRESPONDENCE OF 


servant to them, when the dignity of the trust I have so long had the 
honour of serving His Majesty in, might, I hope, be thought to 
have set me upon a level with them. Whereto I have humbly to 
add, what some have not spared publicly to let fly in opposition to 
my continuance in this office, namely, that so long as Mr. Pepys should 
be there, his Royal Highness remains in effect Admiral. In which, 
though they do me a much greater honour than either I deserve, or 
their malignity intends me, yet, Sir, I cannot but so far consider 
the importance of having all rubs removed, which may be either of 
impediment to the happy going on of this great part of the King’s 
service, or give any unnecessary occasion of keeping alive the jealousies 
touching your Royal Highness, that if His Majesty may as well secure 
to himself the full use of my service, and your Royal Highness receive 
no less content from my being in the Commission than in my present 
post, which you were pleased, upon my former motion to that purpose, 
to express your well-liking of, I see no inconvenience, but to myself, 
likely to arise from His Majesty’s giving them the satisfaction of his 
withdrawing me from this odious Secretaryship; I being for these 
reasons not only contented to submit to, but desire it, and shall be 
most ready to give my assistance in this Commission with the same 
faithfulness and industry, though not with the same private satisfac- 
tion, wherewith I ought, and should, were your Royal Highness at 
the head of it. Which having said, I make it my humble prayer to 
your Royal Highness to interpret with your usual justice my 
deliberation upon this subject, pardoning ought that shall hap- 
pen not to find your full liking, as being designed most en- 
tirely for the benefit of His Majesty’s service. But if it 
shall be my better fortune to meet with your Royal Highness’s ap- 
probation in what I have here humbly offered, I then make it my suit 
to your Royal Highness, that you will be pleased to consider how far 
it may be fit for your Royal Highness to enforce from yourself this 
my humble proposal to His Majesty, for my being transferred from 
the Secretaryship into the Commission: your Royal Highness well 
knowing that, however bounteous you have always been to me in your 
frequent callings on me, to the improvement of your favours to my 
benefit with His Majesty, I have never to this day done it to the ob- 
taining sixpence from the Crown by any boon extraordinary beyond 
the plain allowance of my office, and not that neither: yet by much more 


than all I have else reserved in the world to depend upon, as your. 


Highness was pleased to be informed from me by particulars, and 
from you the King, just before your going. So as, while the sincer- 
ity of my wishes for the weal of his service prompts me to this 
voluntary divesting myself of my present employment, I should be 
in very ill condition to bear its not being made up to me by His 
Majesty granting, for his service’s sake, as well as in justice to your 


SAMUEL PEPYS 215 


Royal Highness’s mediation, and his own promises in my favour, the 
latter part of my motion for his placing me in the Commission, or at 
least making some other provision for me as one superannuated in 
his service. 

Wherein, nevertheless, submitting myself still to your Royal High- 
ness’s disposal, and beseeching Almighty God to put some timely 
bounds to your misfortunes, whatever becomes of mine, I, in all 
humility, remain, 

May it please your Royal Highness, 
Your Royal Highness’s most obedient 
and most dutiful Servant, S. P.

Yours, by Captain Sanders, I received yesterday morning, and look 
on what you propose as so reasonable, that I send you here enclosed 
a letter to His Majesty as you desired, and send it with a flying seal, 
that you may read it before you deliver it to see how you like it; and 
truly I hope His Majesty will do it; I am sure he ought, and it will do 
more good to reward one old servant than to take off twenty mutineers. 
I have not time to say more, but that you shall always find me firm to 
you. 


C.] The Duke of York to the King. 


Bruxelles, May 22, 1679. 

I hope your Majesty will pardon me for writing to you in behalf 
of an old servant of yours in the Navy, that has long and faithfully 
served you. It is Mr. Pepys, who now, upon this change in the Ad- 
miralty, is like to suffer, without your Majesty’s favour; and truly, 
I think, should he be quite laid aside, I believe the service there 
would not be so well carried on, and those who are named to be Com- 
missioners of the Admiralty, though in other affairs they are very 
able men, yet must needs be very raw in that, and will want one 
amongst them that understands it: therefore, what I have humbly to 
offer to your Majesty in Mr. Pepys’s behalf is, that you will be pleased 
to add him to that Commission, and let him be one of their number. 
Sure none can find fault with your Majesty’s doing it for him, when 
they consider his long service in the Navy, and that you do it for him 
as a recompence to him for all his services. And besides, I think 
it very necessary for your service always, and the easiest and less 


216 CORRESPONDENCE OF 


chargeable way of doing something for him that can be thought on: 
for give me leave to say, your Majesty is bound to do something for 
him that has spent so many years in your service to your satis- 
faction. Pray, Sir, pardon me for being earnest in this affair; I can 
never help being so where I think your honour concerned, and I 
wish all your subjects were as true Englishmen, and as dutiful and 
loyal as I am, and shall ever be. J AMES.

May it please your Royal Highness—I should not have thought it 
in any wise becoming me to trouble your Royal Highness with the 
notice of any thing relating to the present difficulties I lie under, other- 
wise than as they serve for the necessary excuse of my no earlier own- 
ing the favour of your Royal Highness’s, by Captain Sanders, which 
found me in the custody, under which I, with Sir Anthony Deane, do 
now remain, upon no less suggestions than those of popery, felony, 
piracy, and treason, but so grounded as to render it hard for me to 
tell your Royal Highness which of the two enjoys the greater pleasure: 
whether Mr. Harbord in public, from the contemplation of the con- 
quest his malice has obtained over me, or I in private, from what my 
innocence tells me I shall, some time or other, if any justice may be 
hoped for, obtain against him. Hardships, however, I do and shall 
suffer contentedly; and the more in that I had the honour of having 
my duty to your Royal Highness assigned for the real cause of what 
my adversaries are pleased artificially to pretend, of Popery, and other 
like chimeras: for begging your Royal Highness to believe that, as 
your Royal Highness shall never receive any dishonour from the favour 
you haye been observed to incline towards me, so neither shall any of 
the hard usages which the malignity of some, or want of information 
in others, can subject me to, render me either less zealous in my duty 
and allegiance to my Royal Master, or less forward in the payment 
of that gratitude, which even that Protestancy of mine the world would 
be thought so doubtful of, exacts from me towards your Highness, and 
shall haye it to the last point of my fortune and life. For what 
concerns your Royal Highness’s particular goodness to me, in your 
late letter to His Majesty, the condition I am in puts it out of my 
power to apply it to my benefit; but not so as to make me any 
thing doubtful of the fruits of it in His Majesty’s justice, so soon as 
the justice I am waiting for from lower hands shall put me into a 


capacity of asking it. Towards which, referring your Royal Highness

Honoured Cousin—This comes to kiss your hands, and my cousin 
your Lady’s, with many thanks for her and your last favours at Imping- 
ton: since which it hath pleased God, by a continued sickness of my 
Sister’s, to prevent my coming to any determination touching my 
house at Brampton; for that my thoughts therein would be much 
governed by my having or not having her to reside there, for the 
better looking after my small affairs, as well as her own, about that 
place, my dependencies here being still such as will not, I doubt, for 
some time, give me leisure to retire thither myself: which, as public 
matters go, without any hopes in my view of their bettering, is the 
first thing I could wish to compass. But my Sister’s illness being be- 
come such as our best physicians here, where she has for some months 
been, can give me no assurance of any speedy recovery, I find it incon- 
venient for me to delay any longer my taking some resolutions in that 
matter; and, therefore, remembering, though imperfectly, a motion you 
were pleased to make to me about this house, when I last waited on 
you, I thought it becoming me to advertise you so far of it, as may 
give me the satisfaction of knowing whether, in my proceeding herein, 
I can have any opportunity of serving you. 

I remember, also, the little things you were pleased to bespeak of

happen to dispose of the house, I shall, with great pleasure, make

veyance thither. So, with my desires also of understanding how it

By the last post, I had yours of the 14th, with the copy of the

there can be no doubt of their loyalty; and that it is not necessary 
or usual for people to doubt of such as have such immediate dependance, 
or are in pay; and I think what has been done by the Trinity House is 
sufficient for the seamen: I wish all the landmen would do their parts as 
well. I shall say no more to you now, but to assure you, you shall

Sir—In consequence of your commands, &c., I have sent you already 
two large sea-charts, and now, with a third, I transmit the sheets I 
have long since blotted about the late Dutch war: for which I should 
yet make another apology, besides its preface, were it not that you well 
understand the prejudices I lay under at that time, by the in- 
spection of my Lord Treasurer Clifford, who would not endure I should 
moderate my style when the difference with Holland was to be the 
subject, nor with much patience suffer that France should be suspected, 
though in justice to truth, evident as the day, I neither would nor could 
conceal what all the world must see; how subdolously they dealt, and 
made us their property all along. The interception of* 
letter to his master, p. 260, is abundantly pregnant of this, and ought 
to open our eyes, unless it be that we design to truckle under that 
power, and seek our ruin with industry. Sir, you will pardon this 
severe reflection, since I cannot think of it without emotion. Now, 
as to the compiler’s province, it is not easily to be imagined the sea and 
ocean of papers, treaties, declarations, relations, letters, and other 
pieces that I have been obliged to wade through, read over, note, and 
digest, before I set pen to paper; I confess to you the fatigue was in- 
sufferable: and, for the more part, did rather oppress and confound me, 
than enlighten; so much trash there was to sift and lay by: and I 
was obliged to peruse all that came to hand; and a better judgment 
than mine had been requisite to elect and dispose the materials that 
were then apt for use. This, Sir, I dare pronounce you will find be- 
fore you have prepared all your materiam abstructam for the noble 
and useful work you are meditating. Nor did I desist here, but had 
likewise made provision for that which was to follow the Treaty of 
Breda; though I honestly restored every scrip that had been furnished 
me from the cabinets of the Secretaries, and other persons, which

were originals; yet blame myself for returning those letters and pieces 
I received from my Lord Treasurer, because I think I might have re- 
tained them with better confidence than he to carry them away with him 
into Devonshire, unde nulli retrorswm. That I did not proceed with the 
rest is accountable to his successor, who, cutting me short of some 
honest pretensions I had to his kindness more than ordinary, if you 
knew all, I cared not to oblige an ungrateful age, and perhaps the world 
is delivered from a fardel of impertinences. Clifford, his predecessor, 
was, abating his other imperfections, a generous man, friendly to me, 
and I verily believe of clean hands: I am sure I was obliged to him; 
the other had been so to me and mine. A haughty spirit is seldom 
accompanied with generosity; but that is all past. I know it has been 
wondered upon what pretence I should have sought to sit at the Navy 
Board; and I have been as much astonished why some Honoraries, 
who sat long there, were no more industrious or useful than haply I 
should have been, whilst, to commute for my ignorance of wear and 
tear, I might yet, perhaps, have been subservient to such a genius as 
Mr. Pepys; and by his direction and converse, not altogether an un- 
profitable member. Something, you see, I should have been digging 
for my wages, and serving the master builders, though I were myself 
no architect. But let that go also.

last night that the King, whose commands should ever be his guide, 
had not yet declared any thing of his pleasure touching his stay here, 
and remove hence with him to London, yet I find every body conclud- 
ing, and all things in appearance concurring, that he shall do both. 
So that I believe your Lordship will be eased of a journey hither, which 
truly would be found very troublesome to you, and your accommodation 
here very uneasy, the town being already very full, and hourly filling. 
Besides that, I have. to tell you from the Duke, upon my delivering him 
the message you intrusted me with, that he is most sensible of your 
particular duty and good will to him (they are his own words), and 
that he wants not, and therefore would by no means have you think of 
giving him so inconvenient a proof of it, as he apprehends your visiting 
him here might prove to you in your health: rather desiring you, for 
that reason, to respite it till he can meet you at White-hall. Mr. Pearce, 
however, I find mighty thoughtful and inquisitive after accommoda- 
tions for your Lordship; but I doubt not but a day or two more will 
put you and us out of all fear of needing it: for I am already satis- 
fied that the Duke will not return to Scotland without seeing London, 
nor then, I hope, but to fetch the Duchess; our Ministers being in all 
appearance very respectful and obsequious to him, and that squabble 
about the inn adjusted, my Lord Conway most readily rectifying the 
mistakes his servants had made, at his first coming, in that matter. 

I have not yet been at Mrs. Nelly’s,* but I hear Mrs. Knight is better, 
and the King takes his repose there once or twice daily. Your brother 
Hales is all the Representative your Board yet has here, but more, 
I hear, are expected, and of the Navy, a whole host.

Pieces, infirm and unfit to be put into the building, but prepared to 
work on. It is not imaginable to those who have not tried, what 
labours an historian that would be exact is condemned to; he must read 
all, good and bad, and remove a world of rubbish before he can lay the 
foundation. So far I had gone, and it was well for me I went no 
farther, and better for the reader on many accounts, as I am sure you 
find by what I have already been so weak as to show you; and yet I 
cannot forbear. You will find, among the rest, in a little essay, how 
what I have written in English would show in Latin, ashamed as I 
was to see the history of that war published in that universal and 
learned language, and that in just and specious volumes, whilst we 
only told our tale to ourselves, and suffered the indignities of those 
who prepossessed the world to our prejudice; and you know how diffi- 
cult a thing it is to play an after-game, when men’s minds are perverted 
and their judgments prepossessed. Our sloth and silence in this diffusive 
age, greedy of intelligence and public affairs, is a great fault, and I 
wonder our politicians that are at the helm take no more care of it, 
since we see what advantages reputation alone carries with it in Hol- 
land, Genoa, Venice, and even our East India Commission; whereas, 
all wise men know they are neither so rich, wise or powerful, intrin- 
sically, and that it is the credit and estimation the vulgar has of 
them which renders them considerable. It was on this account I chose 
the action at Bergen: not that I thought it to be the most glorious or 
discreet, for in truth I think much otherwise, but for that the ex- 
ploit was entire, and because I had seen what the Dane had published 
in Latin much to our dishonour. How close I have kept to my text 
you will find by collation, and whether nervous and sound, none can 
better judge. That I did not proceed need not be told you. The 
peace was concluded; my patron resigned his staff: his successor was 
unkind and unjust to me. The Dutch Embassador complained of my 
Treatise of Commerce and Navigation, which was intended but for a 
prolusion, and published by His Maty’s encouragement before the peace 
was quite ratified, though not publicly till afterwards. In sum, I had no 
thanks for what I had done, and have been accounted since, I suppose, 
an useless fop, and fit only to plant coleworts, and I cannot bend to 
mean submissions; and this, Sir, is the history of the Historian. I 
confess to you, I had once the vanity to hope, had my patron continued 
in his station, for some, at least, honorary title that might have animated 
my progress, as seeing then some amongst them whose talents I did 
not envy: but it was not my fortune to succeed. If I were a young 
man and had the vanity to believe any industry of mine might recom- 
mend me to the friendship and esteem of M: Pepys, as I take him to 
be of a mere enlarged and generous soul, so I should not doubt but 
he would promote this ambition of mine, and not think one that would 
labour for the honour of his country, in my way, unworthy some regard.

B. L.] S. Pepys to W. Hewer. 


Edinburgh, Monday, May 8, 1682. 

Mr. Hewer—After having told you that the Duke is well, and then 
myself, I may safely take notice to you of what will, I know, soon 
become the talk of the town, and be very differently entertained by 
it: but be their constructions of it what the worst part of them 
please, our solace must be that the Duke is well arrived here, though 
with a greater loss in his train than we can yet make any just com- 
putation of, by reason of the Kitchin Yacht not being yet come in; 
which, of all the yachts, had most opportunity of saving men, as lying 
nearest and longest about the wreck of the Gloucester, which struck 
upon the edge of the (Well, some say; Lemmon, say others,) about 5 
in the morning, on Friday last, from an obstinate over-winning of the 
pilot, in opposition to all the contrary opinions of Sir J. Berry, his 
master, mates, Col. Legg, the Duke himself, and several others, concur- 
ring unanimously in our not being yet clear of the sands, and therefore 
advising for his standing longer out to sea. The pilot is one Ayres, a 
man that has heretofore served the Duke as pilot in the war, and in his 
voyage hither, and one greatly valued as such by him: but this, however, 
has fallen out, and will, as it ought, be strictly inquired into, the man 
being, as is said, saved, and could it be regularly done would be tried 
and hanged here, for the nearer satisfaction of those great families of 
this kingdom, who, it is feared, would be found the greatest sufferers 
in this calamity ;! and among others, my Lord Roxbrough, one of the 
flowers of this nobility, not yet heard of, nor Mr. Hyde, my Lord Hyde’s 
brother, and lieutenant of the ship; though Sir J. Berry is, and is very 
well spoken of by His Royal Highness, for his comportment in this 
business, though unfortunate. 

I told you, in a line by Mr. Froud, that though I had abundant 
invitation to have gone on board the Duke, I chose rather, for room’s 
sake and accommodation, to keep my yacht, where I had nobody but 
Sir Christopher Musgrove and our servants with me; the Master of 
the Ordnance being obliged, by his indispensable attendance on his 
Highness, to leave us. 


1It seems the pilot was to be hanged, whether he deserved it or not, for the 
satisfaction of the relations of the young aristocrats who were lost in_ the 
Gloucester. See also page 228, postea, about the commission for the Court 
Martial. It might be worth enquiring what became of Ayres. 


SAMUEL PEPYS 225 


Our fortune was, and the rest of the yachts, to be near the Gloucester 
when she struck; between which and her final sinking, there passed not, 
I believe, a full hour; the Duke and all about him being in bed, and, 
to show his security, the pilot himself, till waking by her knocks. 

The Duke himself, by the single care of Col. Legg, was first sent 
off in a boat, with none but Mr. Churchill’ in her, to prevent his 
being oppressed with men labouring their escapes: some two or three, 
however, did fling themselves after him into her, and my Lord President? 
of Scotland, by the Duke’s advice endeavoured it, but, falling short, 
was taken up out of the water by him. 

Mr. Legg (then) looking after his own safety, got into a boat, 
and was received on board us with Capt. Macdonnell, Mr. Fortry, one 
of the Duke’s bedchamber, and some poor men unknown: we had also 
the good fortune to take up Sir Charles Scarborough, almost dead, and 
others spent with struggling in the water and cold; but were prevented 
in our doing so much good as we would, by our own boat’s being easily 
sunk by our side, and her men with much difficulty saved. 

Had this fallen out but two hours sooner in the morning, or the 
yachts at the usual distance they had ail the time before been, the 
Duke himself and every soul had perished; nor ought I to be less 
sensible of God’s immediate mercy to myself, in directing me, contrary 
to my purpose at my first coming out, and the Duke’s kind welcome 
to me when on board him in the river, to keep to the yacht; for 
many will, I doubt, be found lost, as well or better qualified for saving 
themselves, by swimming and otherwise, than I might have been. 

Capt. Wyborne, in the Happy Return, was the only frigate near 
us, and she, indeed, in no less danger than the Gloucester; but, taking 
quick notice of the other’s mishaps, dropped presently her anchor, and 
is this morning, with the Kitchen Yacht, come safe in harbour; and 
by her we now know that very many are lost; I judge about 200 
men: but particulars are not yet fully known, only my Lord Roxbrough 
and Lord Hopton are certainly gone, and our young English Lord 
O'Brian. 

The haste the express is going away in will not allow me to write 
to my Lord Brouncker now; but pray give him my most humble services, 
and communicate this to his Lordship, and the like to Crutched Friars, 
Winchester Street, and Portugal Row, as soon as you conveniently can, 
to remove any causeless care concerning me, giving my Lord Brouncker 
a hint, and my thinking it very expedient in itself and regardful in 
him towards the Duke, that some enquiry be made into the care the

Navy Office will be found to have used in providing for his safety and 
ship, with respect to the appointment of good and a sufficient number 
of pilots on this occasion; for I hear something muttered here about 
it, and it will not, I doubt, be judged enough for them to leaye it 
to the Duke to take whom he pleased, or might possibly be otherwise 
advised to, without interposing some immediate care of their own in it, 
as I am sure was heretofore done in my time, upon his going to sea. I

what you were pleased to honour me with, by yours of the 8th inst. 
from Edinburgh, after the late misfortune to the Gloucester, concerning 
which we had some imperfect account on Wednesday morning, about 
11 of the clock: it comeing from my Lord Conway, at Windsor, to Sir 
Leoline Jenkins’s office, at Whitehall, where I was then waiting at the 
Treasury Chambers, and was not a little surprized at the reporte, which 
in less than an houres time ran through the whole citty, and was 
variously discoursed of as people were affected and inclined: some would 
have it that the Duke and all were lost—others, that all were saved, 
and the shipp only lost; but all generally concluded it to be a very 
unfortunate and unkinde disaster; but the thoughts of the Duke’s 
safety, and our friends, does very much ease our mindes, and give 
us great satisfaction. ; 

You cannot imagine in what consternation all your friends in gen- 
erall were, upon the reporte of your being cast away, but more espe- 
cially those at Crutched Fryars, Winchester Street, and Portugal Rowe, 
to whom I communicated your letter, which was matter of no small 
joy and satisfaction to them; they all joyne with me in returning God 
Almighty thanks for his great mercy in directing you in your passage 
as he did.

to buy off the widow, who has three small children; but we are con- 
sidering what to doe to prevent it,? Sir A. Deane being come to towne. 

The Officers of the Navy were directed by the Admiralty to goe 
downe this day to Chatham, to make some further enquiries concerning 
the business of the wett dock, that matter not being yet adjusted; my 
Lord Finch having been very severe on St Ph. Pett, who beares up and 
thinks nothing has been yet sayd to the prejudice of the reasons he 
gave against it. 

Sir John Banks took very kindly my waiting on him with the ac- 
count you gave, he having not met with any that was soe particular; 
and being to dine with my Lord Chancellor to-day, where Mr. Sey- 
moure was to be, he did very much press me to give him an extract 
of your letter relateing to the loss of the Gloucester, and the circum- 
stance thereof, which I did doe, leaving out all that related to your 
selfe, and the hints to my Lord Brouncker. 

Pray present my very humble service to Mr. Legg, whose great 
prudence and regard towards the Duke’s safety is very much spoken 


1 Colonel Scott had accused Pepys of popery and treason; see Life, vol. i. In 
the Intelligencer of May 20, 1681, is the following advertisement for his appre- 
hension:—‘“ The last week, one Colonel John Scott took an occasion to kill 
one John Butler, a hackney-coachman, at the Horse-shoe on Tower Hill, without 
any other provocation (’tis said) but refusing to carry him and another gentleman 
pertaining to the law, from thence to Temple Bar, for 1s. 6d. Amongst the many 
pranks that he hath played in other countries, ’tis believed this is one of the 
very worst. He is a very great vindicator of the Salamanca Doctor. He is a 
lusty tall man, i death, thin-faced, wears a_peruke sometimes, and has a very 
look. All-good people would do well, if they can, to apprehend him, that 
he may be brought to justice.” 

his was followed by another advertisement in the same paper of May 23, 
1681:—“In our last, we gave you an account how valiantly Colonel Scott killed 
Butler the coachman. This is that Scott that cheated the States of Holland of 
oool., and was hanged in effigy at the Hague, in 1672. Afterwards, he went to 

ris, and pretended to a person of quality belonging to that Court that he had 
got several sea-cards, by which he could show them how to burn all his Majesty’s 
Mavy in their harbours; but being discovered to be a cheat, was forced to fly. 
Since the discovery of the Popish plot he came into England, and pretended he 
had those sea-cards of Sir Anthony Deane and Mr. Pepys, and that they would 
have the ships burnt by the French King, and employed him for that purpose. 
He is also the person who robbed himself in Flanders, to get contribution from 
the priests and convents. He has played a thousand pranks more, and hath 
been of Sheriff B——’s [Slingsby Bethel] club lately, and great with all the 
Popish, evidences, plot-drivers, and discoverers.” : ipa 

?This is another curious specimen of the manner in which justice was ad- 
ministered in those days. The supposed murderer’s friends tried to buy off 

widow’s evidence, whilst Pepys’s adherents laboured to ensure the man’s 
conviction, because he had wronged Pepys on a former occasion.

Newcastle, Friday, May 26th, 82. 

Mr Hewer—Having, by a former letter from Berwick, owned and 
thanked for yours by my Lady Peterborough, this comes to do the like 
for another of the 13th instant, which I met at my arrival here, three 
days since, and was most welcome to me, as bringing me both the 
satisfaction of understanding your healths, and the kind resentments 
you had upon the notice of mine: for which, after what is first due to 
God Almighty, I give all our friends, and particularly yourself, my 
most affectionate thanks. 

Since my coming hither, Mr. Legg and I have made a step to Durham, 
where the Bishop’ seems to live more like a prince of this, than a 
preacher of the other world, and shall, to-day, set out for Scarborough, 
where, if I find none from you, pray let me meet a line or two at Hull, 
which is the last port we are to touch at in our way home; where I hope 
we shall, in ten days, have a safe meeting. 

I am infinitely bound to my friends in Portugal Row and Winchester 
Street, for their thoughts of me, and the favour of their letters, which 
I will acknowledge to them myself from Scarborough, where we shall, 
God permitting it, be to-morrow. Sir Ralph Delavall just now com- 
ing in, and forcing us away to a seat of his,? some few miles from this 
place, where he will have us eat with him before we sail, interrupting 
me in my letter to them this post; pray them, therefore, in the mean 
time, to stay their kind stomachs, that I thank them, love them, long to 


see them, and having thus escaped [illegible] will not now despair of 


living to serve them. 

And this leads me to the tidings you give me of our friend Scott, 
whom God is pleased to take out of our hands into his own for justice; 
for should he prevail with the widow for her forgiveness, which yet, 
in some respects, I could wish might be prevented, there is the King’s 
pardon behind, which I suppose he will not easily compass, unless 
by some confessions, which I am confident he is able to make, relating 
to the State as well as us, that might enough atone for this his last 
villany; nor do I doubt, but to save his own life, he will forget his

which pray let Sir Anto. Deane think of, and of putting in a caveat

Deare Sir—You will easily imagine the condition we have beene in 
here, by the ill weather you have beene witness of where you have 
beene; but yet, God be thanked! we have strugled in it so farr, that 
the Mole is totally destroyed; neye, much more than you will im- 
magine, till you see it, which, I hope, will be as soone as conveniently 
you can; for, when the Alcade and I come to treate of slaves, I shall 
want both your advice and assistance, for which I must ever acknowledge 
myself already sufficiently indebted, and Mr. Hewer for paying and ac- 
counting the mony. Pray, make no scruple of taking any man of warr, 
that is, of his Majesties fleete, to bring you hither when you thinke 
fitt to command her; and I send you enclosed an order, that you may 
please to put in the Commander’s name when you can come to me; for 
nothing they can pretend, if the ship be in condicon, can be of more 
service to His Majesty than bringing you hither, whose judgment and 
kindness I have an entire confidence in, being, from my heart, 
Your most obliged and faithful friend, 
And humble Servant, DartmMovutH. 


As Atkins has drawne the order, no Commander’s name need now 
be added, so that you may apply it to whom and when you please. 

But remember Harry Williams is my old friend, and, since he is in 
hopes of making his fortune, I would not injure him.

Sir—I can’t but thank you for the acquaintance you have recom- 
mended me to; and yet I am ready to wish sometimes you had let it 
alone. For I can’t putt a book or paper into his hand, out of a desire 
to entertain him, but he makes one sweat with one confounding ques- 
tion or other, before I can get it from him again, even to the putting

me sometimes to more torture to find the gentleman a safe answer, 
than ever Sacheverell or Lee did. Only to-day (I thank him) he has 
used me very gently, upon occasion of two papers I got him to read to 
me, the one an account I have lately received from Algiers of the whole 
proceedings (by way of Journal) of the French fleets there; the other, 
the Statutes designed by Sir William Boreman for the government 
of his new Mathematical School at Greenwich, in imitation of that 
of the King’s at Christ Hospital. Wherein, asking our young man 
his advice, as Sir William Boreman does mine, he has given it me 
with great satisfaction, without putting me to any pain about it; only 
I have promised to carry him down with me next week, when I shall 
be desired to meet the Founder upon the place. And, indeed, it is a deed 
of the old man’s very praiseworthy. And for the young one, you may 
be sure I'll keep him my friend (as you counsel me) for fear of his 
Tales. For, by my conscience, the knave has discovered more of my 
nakedness than ever you did, or my Lord Shaftesbury either. In a 
word, I do most heartily joy you in him, and (as evil as our days are) 
should not be sorry, you could joy me in such another. And so, God 
bless your whole fireside, and send you, for their sakes and the King’s, 
a good occasion of removing your three parts a little nearer us. I 
do most respectfully kiss your hands, and am, your most faithful and 
most humble Servant, S. Pepys. 


P.S.—If you have had any occasion of knowing either here or in 
Ireland, one Mr. Wentworth, a branch of the great Lord Deputy’s, who 
has (or is said so) an estate of about 8 or 900/. per annum in the latter, 
and was a fellow member of ours towards the latter end (as I take it) 
of the Long Parliament, a good, sober gentleman in appearance, but at 
that time a great anti-courtier, pray give me a little light concerning 
him, both as to the character of the man and his estate, there being an 
overture depending between him and a relation of a friend of yours 
and mine, wherein it imports us much to know the truth of both. 

To-night we have had a mighty musical entertainment at Court for 
the welcoming home of the King and Queen, wherein the frequent re- 
turns of the words, Arms, Beauty, Triumph, Love, Progeny, Peace, 
Dominion, Glory, &c., had apparently cost our Poet-Prophet more pains 
to find rhymes than reasons.

Brother St. Michel—I cannot but thank you (though in few words) 
for your kind enquiry after my health by yours of the 7th inst. It was 
not without very much ground, that in one of my late letters of general 
advice to you, I cautioned you against depending upon any support 
much longer from me, I then feeling what I now cannot hide, I mean, 
that paine which I at this day labour under (night and day) from a 
new stone lodged in my kidneys, and an ulcer attending it, with a 
general decay of my stomach and strength, that cannot be played with 
long, nor am I solicitous that it should. This satisfaction I have as 
to your own particular, that I have discharged my part of friendship 
and care towards you and your family, as far as I have been, or could 
ever hope to be able, were I to live twenty years longer in the- Navy; 
and to such a degree, as will with good conduct, enable you both to 
provide well for your family, and at the same time doe your King and 
country good service. Wherein I pray God to bless you soe, as that you 
may neither by any neglect or miscarriage, fayle in the latter, nor by 
any improvidence (which I must declare to you I am most doubtfull of, 
and in paine for) live to lament your neglect of my repeated admoni- 
tions to you touching the latter. This I say to you, as if I were never 
to trouble either you or myself about it more; and pray think of it as 


such, from your truly affectionate Brother and Servant, 
S. Pepys.

of the Navy had done upon the order you sent them relating to the new 
gun carriages, &¢., but mett none but St Jo, Narborough, who told me 
your order expres’t a tryal of shooting to be made like that at Ports- 
mouth, which was impracticable at Deptford; because shooting with 
powder only was no tryall, and shooting with bullets too dangerous.

SAMUEL PEPYS — 283 


And, therefore, his opinion, which he did believe would be the opinion 
of the whole Board, was, that to each new. carriage should be the addi- 
tion of a windlass, and also the false truck at the end of the carriages; 
and that all other things, as eyebolts, tackles, &c., should be left as they 
are in the old carriages, till such time as a full tryall be made of 
the new way, both at sea and in a fight; and then what shall prove to 
be useless in the old way, may bee wholly left off, and layd aside. 

I would have wayted on you with this account myself, but I pre- 
sume you have, ere this time, heard what an unfortunate and fatall 
accident has lately befallen me, of which I shall give you an abbreviat. 

About three weeks or a month since, being in very great perplexities, 
and almost distracted for want of moneys, my private creditors torment- 
ing me from morning to night, and some of them threatening me with 
a prison, and having no positive answer from His Majesty about the 
1300/., which the late Lord Treasurer cutt off from my pension so 
severely, which left a debt upon mee which I was utterly unable to pay, 
there came_a certain person to me, whom I had relieved in a starving 
condition, and for whom I had done a thousand kindnesses; who pre- 
tended in gratitude to help me to a wife who was a very vertuous, pious, 
and sweet disposition’d lady, and an heiress who had 500/. per ann. in 
land of inheritance, and 4000]. in ready money, with the interest since 
nine years, besides a mortgage upon 300]. pt an. more, with plate, 
jewels, &c. The devil himself could not*contrive more probable cir- 
cumstances than were layd before me; and when I had often a mind 
to inquire into the truth, I had no power, believing, for certain reasons, 
that there were some charms or witchcraft used upon me. And, withall, 
believing it utterly impossible that a person so obliged should ever be 
guilty of so black a deed as to betray me in so barbarous a manner, 
(besides that, I really believ’d it a blessing from Heaven for my charity 
to that person), I was, about a fortnight since, led as a fool to the 
stocks, and married a coachmans daughter not worth a shilling, and one 
who, about 9 months since, was brought to bed of a bastard; and thus 
I am both absolutely ruined in my fortune and reputation, and must 
become a derision to all the world. 

My case is, at present, in the Spiritual Court, and I presume that 
one word from His Majesty to his Proctor, and Advocate, and Judge, 
would procure me speedy justice; if either our old acquaintance or 
Christian pity move you, I beg you to put in a kind word for me, and 
to deliver the enclosed into the King’s own hands, with all convenient 
speed; for a criminal bound and going to execution is not in greater 
agonies, than has been my poor, active soul since this befel me: and I 
earnestly beg you to leave 3 lines for me with your own porter, what 
answer the King gives you, and my man shall call for it. A flood of 
tears blind my eyes, and I can write no more, but that I am

Magdalene College, Cambridge, February 23, 86-7. 

Honourd Sir—I am to returne you manifold thankes for many favours, 
particularly for the warrant for the Doe, though our audit was put off: 
and for crediting us with the education of your nephew, who came to 
continue last Tuesday, and I shall be very mindfull of his health, be- 
haviour, and improvement while God continueth him and me together. 

I must not conceal from such a friend as you what, before this, 
comes to you will be known in Court and City. His Majesty was pleased 
to send a letter directed to me, as Vice-Chancellor, to admit one 
Alban Francis, a Benedictine Monk, Master of Arts, without administer- 
ing any oath or oaths to him. Now, the oaths of allegiance and” 
supremacy being required by the statutes of Eliz. and Jac. Imi, I could 
not tell what to do—decline his Majesties letter, or his lawes: I could but 
pray to God to direct, sanctifie, and governe me in the wayes of his 
lawes; that so, through his most mighty protection, both here and 
ever, I may be preserved in body and soul: then, by our Chancellour, I 
endeavoured to obteine His Majesties release, which could not be ob- 
teined. I thought it unmannerly to importune his Sacred Majesty, 
ana was afraid to straine friends against the graine; and so could 
only betake myself to my owne conscience, and the advice of loyall 
and prudent men, my friends; and, after all, I was perswaded that my 
oath as Vice-Chancellor, founded on the statutes, was against it, and I 
should best exercise a conscience void of offence towards God and man, 
by deprecating his Majesties displeasure, and casting myselfe upon his 
princely clemency. 

Worthy Sir, tis extraordinary distresse and affliction to me, after so 
much indeavour and affection to his Royall person, crown and succession, 
I should at last, by the providence of God, in this my station, be thus 
exposed to his displeasure; but I must commit myselfe to the great 
God and my dread Sovereigne, the law and my friends, none of which 
I would have hurt for my sake, but desire all favour and helpe they 
thinke me capable of without hurting themselves; for if I do ill, tis not 
out of malice, but feare of the last judgment, and at the worst through 
involuntary mistake. Sir, I am sorry I have occasion to give you this 
information and trouble; but you will pardon, I hope, if you cannot 
helpe, Sir, ; 

Your most devoted Servant, whatever befall, 
J. PEACHELL.

knowing how unwelcome any thing must be to you that comes from one to 
whom you have been pleased to express so great an aversion. ’Tis a 
severe penance I undergo, in being thrown so suddenly out of a family 
I have soe long earned my bread in, into a wide world, whereto, God 
knows, I am so great a stranger, that I know not how or where to 
bestow myself, being constrained, through want of money, to procure 
me house-roome, to ramble in those parts where I think I may least ex- 
pose myselfe to the sight of my friends, which is now grown equally 
cruel to that of my enemys. 

I should be heartily glad could I but meet with never soe small 
employment, whereby I might be able to coope myselfe up; but I am 
wholly a stranger where to seek it. 

I most humbly crave pardon for what I have done amiss, and pray 
God that you suffer no more wrong from them that have thus exasper- 
ated you against me than I have really done you; and, since it is 
impossible for me to regain what I have lost, lett me beg some little 
thing or other to do, to keep me from idlenesse, till God shall please 
otherwise to dispose of me. I know that this is an unreasonable re- 
quest, but, for God’s sake, consider that necessity will catch at any 
thing, wherein there is the least show of hope. I heartily beg pardon, 
also, for this trouble, and remaine,

Honourable Sir—What I mentioned unto your Honour in the Victual- 
ling Office, at Tower Hill on Wednesday, the 18th inst., when your 
Honour saw the sad disaster happened by burning the Cooperidge there 
—namely, that it is of moment to His Majesty to purchase Sir Denis 
Gauden’s right to the Redd House for a Victualling Office,’ arose from 
what occurred to me some years past. For, however, that place at first 
settling for a Victualling Office in King Henry the Highth’s time, might 
then be remote from other buildings, yet it is now surrounded by so 
many old and wood-built tenements, as to remain always liable to the 
same mishap, by being bad-tenanted and contiguous. Besides, 
the Cooperidge, bakehouse, stock of bavins, and fleshshed, are too near 
each other, which, like flax when on fire, is not easily quenched, by 
being overbuilt, and having but one way (the great gate) to go into it, 
to the hazard of the whole. 

That, however, at His Majesty’s great charge, in the late Dutch war, 
the then Victuallers, Sir Joseph Child and partners, put the Cooperidge 
into a condition to answer the occasions thereof; yet they found a want 
of stowage for their flesh, so as (besides that of profit) to put them 
upon an expedient to answer that defect, by introducing flour in lieu 
of beef. This want of stowage for flesh still remains, so as to compel 
the present Commissioners for Victualling to stow their casks one upon

Sir—Being of late unable to go abroad, by reason of my lame hip, 
which gives me great pain, besides that it would not be safe for me 
at present, because of that strumpet’s debts, I take the boldness to 
entreat you that, according to your wonted favours, of the same kind, 
you will be pleased, at the next opportunity, to give the King this fol- 
lowing account. 

A little before Christmas last, being informed that she was willing, 
for a sum of money, to confess in’ open Court a precontract with Mr 
Cheek, and being, at the same time, assured both by her, and my own 
lawyers, that such a confession would be sufficient for a sentence of 
nullity, I did deposit the money, and accordingly a day of tryall was 
appoynted; but, after the cause had been pleaded, I was privately assured 
that the Judge was not at all satisfyed with such a confession of hers, 
as to be a sufficient ground for him to null the marriage, and so that 
design came to nothing. 

Then I was advised to treat with her, and give her a present sum and 
a future maintenance, she giving me sufficient security never to trouble 
mee more; but her demands were so high, I could not consent to them. 

After this, she having sent me a very submissive letter by her own 
advocate, I was advised, both by several private friends and some emi- 
nent divines, to take her home, and a day of treaty was appointed for an 
accommodation. ; 

In the interim, a certain gentleman came on purpose, to my house, to 
assure me that I was taking a snake into my bosom, forasmuch as she

Sir—I have been desired by your friends to send you the enclosed 
paper, by which you may easily be made sensible how we are overrun 
with pride, heat, and faction; and unjust to ourselves to that prodigious 
degree, as to deprive ourselves of the greatest honor and advantage 
which we could ever attain to, in the choice of so great and so good 
a man as you are. Had reason had the least place amongst us, or 
any love for ourselves, we had certainly carried it for you. Yet, if 
we are not by this late defection altogether become unworthy of you, 
I dare almost be confident, that an earlier application of the appearing 
of yourself or Sir Anthony Deane, will put the thing out of doubt 
against the next Parliament. A conventicle set up here since this un- 
happy Liberty of Conscience has been the cause of all this. In the 
meantime, my poor endeavours shall not be wanting, and though my 
steadfastness to your interests these ten years has almost ruined me, 
yet I shall continue as long as I live,

B.L. orig.] An Account of the Election at 
Harwich. 
January 16, 1688-9. 


The candidates, Sir Thomas Middleton, a very worthy gentleman, 
agreed upon by all parties, and one Mr John Eldred; the Towne Clerck 
declaring that Sam. Pepys, Esq., should not be enter’d, except some ap- 
pear’d personally for him, which being done immediately, he was at 
last set down. 

The Common Councel were so hot for the other, that, without hearing 
any reasons, nothing would serve but a present election. But, before 
they voted, the Mayor and several of the Aldermen arguing strongly 
that many of them could not be electors; some not being qualified 
according to law, others being open Dissenters from the Church, amongst 
whom one a kind of Quaker, four lately taken in the room of four who

were absent, and turn’d out without any warrant; it was learnedly 
answer’d that, by the King’s late proclamation, they were put in statu 
quo in 1679; to which reply being made, that the King’s proclamation 
did really restore them who were then electors, but did not give them 
power to choose any new members, especially their Charter not being 
restored, which was their warrant to act by, they not knowing so much 
as where the said Charter is, all was over-ruled by noise and tumult. 
They took the paper where they were, to write down their votes, and 
carried it out of the Court; upon which the Mayor presently adjourning, 
two of the Aldermen went out, which made the others return into Court, 
and there give their votes; presently after, the following protestation 
was put into Mr Mayor’s hand:— 

Mr Mayor—‘* We humbly conceive that the present choice of 
Mr Eldred to serve in the Convention is illegal, as to that part of it 
wherein the new electors are concerned; it being visible, that so long 
as we have no Charter to choose them by, they are unwarrantably chosen. 
For, tho’ his Majesties proclamation restores us again to the same 
state we were in, in 79, and does qualifie them who were then actually 
chosen, it does not appear to us, how, without the Charter being actually 
restor’d to us, which it is not at this present, the then electors can choose 
any new ones; so that their very choice is deficient in itself; and ac- 
cordingly, we humbly solicit Sam. Pepys, Esq., to be return’d with 
Sir Thom. Middleton, Kt; protesting against the choice of the said 
Mr Eldred, and desiring withal that this our said protestation may be 
enter’d and return’d to the Convention, to be there examin’d with our 
further allegations against the said election.” 

Mr Smith, the Town Clerk, took the said paper angrily; threaten’d a 
schoolmaster, whom he thought had copied it out, to imprison him; 
said it was a libel, flung it out of the Court, and proclaimed the said 
Mr Eldred duly chosen. As they carried him up and down in the 
streets, one Mr. John Wertbrown cry’d out, “ Vo Tower men, no men out 
of the Tower!” which was echo’d by nobody; most of the freemen, 
and particularly the seamen, being wholly against such a choice, and de- 
claring that had they bin concerned in it, they would have chosen Mr 
Pepys. 

This account is exactly true.

(Enclosed in the above.) 


Stamford, January 14th, 1689-90, 


Honoured Sir—I have received both your letters of enquiry about 
Walcote House,? and I did not answer suddenly to your first, because 
you therein gave mee time to doe it at my leasure, and because, as 
to many particulars mentioned therein, I was not sufficiently informed. 
But your second letter, intimating your desire to hear what answer I 
can give, sooner than I imagined, hath induced me to hasten this account, 
though it bee very imperfect. I have been in the house several times 
while it was St H. Cholmely’s, being acquainted with both him and his 
lady; but, being altogether unacquainted with Mr. Worthley, I never 
was in it since it came into his hands, though I have often rid by it. 
Its distance from our towne of Stamford is about two miles. The 
outward view of the house is very beautiful, being adorned with a large 
lanterne, as it were, on a cupola at the top and leads: the figure a regu- 
lar oblong, and all the windows placed uniformly. All the inward rooms 
were not finisht when I was in it, but many were, and well adorned. 
I am informed it’s much improved by Mr Worthley, both in the rooms 
and gardens; there is a wall both about the garden and other yards and 
enclosed ground. There are plentiful springs near it, but not much wood 
that I have taken notice of: those who are critical about the matter say 
the house is too large and good for the small estate in land which ad- 
joines to it, and they add that an inward wall in it was ill-built, and 
hath crusht an arch therein, and thereby hath endanger’d to thrust out 
one of the outward walls, which is strengthened and secured by some 
buttresses. I guesse that your occasion of enquiring about it may bee in 
behalfe of some purchaser; wherefore, I advise that my imperfect know- 
ledge and unskilful judgment in a matter of such consequence be not 
trusted to, but that the person concerned should trust his own eyes and 
skill, or employ a judicious surveyour. There are many outhouses about 
it, but how convenient cannot well be judged but by him that knows the 


Westminster School; from whence he went to Trinity Collge, Cambridge, where 
he obtained a Fellowship, and became Greek professor of the University. In 
1672, he was chosen High Master of St. Paul’s School, which office he held 
for twenty-five years. In 1676 he was_made a Prebendary of St Paul’s, and, 
in 1697, advanced to the Deanery of York; but_he enjoyed this dignity only 
a short time, dying April 8, 1702, ext. 67. He was a learned theologian, 
skilled in history and archeology, and an excellent Greek scholar; the works which 
he published furnish evidence of his industry and talents. He also possessed 
a noble library, and a curious collection of MSS., which he bequeathed to his 
son Roger. well known as a zealous antiquary.—Abridged from Knight's Life of 
Dean Colet. 

1Rector of All Saints, Stamford, and, in 1691, made Bishop of Peterbor- 
ough.

present. I hope to bee in London between Easter and Whitsunday, if 
not sooner, and there to have more opportunity of enjoying the benefit

so distant from the city, denies mee the opportunity of knowing books

peruse: particularly in these late revolutions, I heare of the great Col- 
lection of the Elder English Historians, wherein you have befriended 
the world, but I have not seen the entire work, but some part of it onely. 
If I live to come to London, I shall entreat you to assist me in procuring 
some such books at the best hand. I hope you will excuse the freedome

Sir—Si vales, bene est, &c. Without more ceremony, then, and that 
my small excursion be no impediment to the perfecting your collec- 
tion,—to the Queries. In the days of Queen Eliz., for before her time 
J hardly hear of any, came over one Crispin van de Pas;,and in King 
James’s, his brother Symon, who calls himself Passeus; and afterwards 
there came, and in Charles Ist’s time, one Elstrack, Stock, De la 
Rem, and Miriam; and of our own countrymen, Cecil, Martin, Vaughan, 
and especially Jo: Paine, for I forbear to mention Marshal, Crosse, and 
some other lamentable fellows, who engraved the effigies of the noblemen, 
&c., then flourishing. These prints were sold by George Humble and 
Sudbury, at the Pope’s Head in Cornhill; by Jenner, at the Exchange; 
one Seager, I know not where, and Roger Daniel: but who had the most 
choice was Mt Peake, near Holborn Conduit; and if there be any who 
can direct you where you may most likely hear what became of their 
plates and works of this kind, I believe nobody may so well inform you 
as Mr Faithorne, father to the bookseller, who, if I am not mistaken, was 
apprentice to Sir W™ Peake, for both he and Humble were made Knights, 
and therefore it may be worth your while to enquire of him. There came 
afterwards, you know, Lucas, Vosterman, Hollar, Lombart, and other 
excellent artists; but these were of later times which you do not enquire 
of. They wrought after Vandyke, the Arundelian Collection, and best 
painters. And now of late the skilful in Mezzo-tinto masters, who for 
imitation of life, sometimes excel the burin itself ever so accurately han- 
dled. But of this enough:—I send you, Sir, my face, such as it was of 
yore, but is*now so no more, tanto mutata; and with it, what you may 
find harder to procure, the Earl of Nottingham, Lord High Admiral; 


which, though it make a gap in my poor Collection, to which it was glad, 


I most cheerfully bestow it upon you, and would accompany it with the 
other two, where I was master of them. J have Sir George Villiers, when 
a youth and newly-dignified, in a small trifling print, not at all fit for you,

there are many, easily to be had. I am sure his picture is below several 
flattering dedications, though at present I do not well remember where. 
But this I do, that there is a Taille-douce of that mighty favourite, 
almost as big as the life, and nothing inferior to any of the famous Nan- 
teuil’s, graved by one Jacob, of Delft, in Holland, from a painting of 
Miereveld, that were well worth the sending even into Holland for, and 
for whatever else is of this kind, of that incomparable workman’s hand. 
I have once seen it, and took this notice of it to mention it in a new 
edition of my Calcographie, when I have leisure to revise that trifle. 
Lastly, as to my Lord Chancellor Hide, though I have not his effigies 
among the rest that I have huddled together, always presuming to get it 
of my Lord Clarendon, but perpetually forgetting to ask it, yet I can 
direct you where to come by it, and perhaps you have it already in your 
library; ’tis but enquiring where Sir W. Dugdale’s History of the Lord 
Chancellors was printed, and there you will find him, and the rest of 
the Long Robe, if you have a mind to them. Have you been at Mr 
Baker’s shop, near the old Exchange. Cannot Mr White furnish you. 
I am deceived if he has not graved most of the Chancellors since his 
Majesty’s restoration.

telling you that I could be well contented Mr. Southerne were told, 
when next he comes in the way of Mr. Martin, that whatever reckoning 
I may make of his learning, I own too great an esteem for that of my 
Lord of Pembroke, to think it possible for him to misplace upon me the 
honour of answering for a sentence so much above my ambition of 
fathoming, or the authority of any man else to censure, but he, if any 
such there be, that would be thought a Latinist, orator, and philosopher, 
fit to stand up with Cicero, whose very words these are, in that excellent 
and most divine chapter, his Somnium Scipionis.

Sir—When I tell you I write in behalf of an eminently honest man, 
I hope you will pardon more easily my importunity. The bearer, M. 
Nutt, though I have very little acquaintance with him, is one that I 
value highly for two actions of his life very unusual in this age.-—When, 
upon the credit he had given King Charles II4, he found himself sink- 
ing from an estate of 10,000/. or 12,000]. to nothing, he returned back to 
the value of 3000]. of money just then put into his hands, telling his 
creditors that he was no longer responsible. His other action was more 
generous than this; for being called to witness the title of a gentleman 
who had not wherewithal to reward him, he being himself not worth a 
groat, he refused to keep back his evidence, though he was offered a con- 
siderable reward by the other party, which would have supported him 
all his life. Upon these merits it is that I would beg of you to use your 
interest with Mr Southerne,? to bestow some clerk’s or other place upon 
him under the Admiralty, to get him bread. If it were my brother, I 
could not with more concern intreat you, in this particular, to oblige,

the acquitting myself honestly towards you, in reference to that vast 
treasure of papers which I have had of yours so many years in my 
hands, in hopes of that otium I have now for three years been master of, 
but on conditions easily to be guessed at, which have not allowed me 
the company of more of my papers than I was content to adventure 
being visited and disordered: and it is not above three weeks since I have 
taken the liberty of remanding any of them within my reach. Out of 
these I have made shift to collect all that relate to the State concern- 
ment in the ministry of Sir R. Browne, and those of your own growth 
towards the History of our Dutch War, 1665, which, with that which 
followed it in 1672, I wish I could see put together by your hand, as 
greatly suspecting they will prove the last instances of the sea actions 
of this nation, which will either bear telling at all, or be worthy of such 
an historian as Mr. Evelyn. Another piece of restitution I have to make 
you, is your Columna Trajani, which, out of a desire of making the most 
use of, with the greatest care to my eyes, I put out unfortunately to 
an unskilful hand, for the washing its prints with some thin stain to 
abate the too strong lustre of the paper: in the execution whereof part 
of it suffered so much injury, that not knowing with what countenance to 
return it, I determined upon making you amends by the first fair book 
I could meet with; but with so ill success, that, notwithstanding all my 
industry, at auctions and otherwise, I have only been able to lay my 
eye on one, fair or foul, at Scott’s, and that wholly wanting the histori- 
cal part; Sir P. Lely, whose book it was, contenting himself with so much 
and no more, as touched the profession of a painter without that of a 
scholar. I have, therefore, thought it more religious to restore so great 
a jewel as your own book, even with this damage. S. P.

250 CORRESPONDENCE OF 


John George the 4th, with the Order of the Garter, in the Great Hall here, 
called Atrium Gigantum, on Thursday, Jany 26, 1692. To which I will 
only add, that the Elector is highly pleased with the Order, which he has 
not only testified by the noble presents he has made to the Commissioners 
and all their Retinue, but by the perfect good humour he has shown 
ever since, and by his bestowing upon Sir William Colt, my Colleague, 
the Badge of Sincerity, a kind of Order established by the 2 Electors of 
Brandenburg and Saxony a year or two ago, which he took from his 
own arm and put upon Sir William’s, being worn in nature of a bracelet: 
it is an enamelled jewel, of an oval form, about an inch long, wherein 
is enamelled 2 hands in armour, with this motto—Uni @ jamais, and on 
the other, Amitié sincére. “The first motto, said the Elector, upon giving 
it to Sir William, “is for the King and myself, the next is for you and 
I.” J will give you a draft of it at my return; the ornament is only four 
diamonds on the outside. The day after the ceremony was a famous 
tilting, 30 on a side, all gentlemen of 8 descents, and the day after 
that were most noble fireworks. The next day, being Sunday, the 26th, 
we had audience of leave, and Sir William presently after delivered new 
credentials as Envoy. We dined with the Elector that day, and he told 


me he would give me my passport for England, which he did. The 


next day we were carried to see the strong fortress of Kénigstein, about 
16 or 18 miles from hence, upon the frontiers of Bohemia, and returned 
the next day and dined at the Elector’s charge, as we did from the time 
of our first audience, being attended by several gentlemen, and the 
Elector’s pages and footmen: since which we are upon our own account.

Sir—However this comes accompanied to you with a little trouble, 
yet I cannot but say, that the occasion is welcome to me, in that it gives 
me an opportunity of telling you that I continue sensible of my obliga- 
tions to you, most desirous of rendering you service in whatever you shall 
think me able, and no less afflicted when I hear of your being in town, 
without knowing how to wait on you till it be too late for me to do it. 
This said, and with great truth and respect, I go on to tell you that the 
bearer, Mr. Smith, is one I bear great goodwill to, no less for what I per- 
sonally know of his general ingenuity, industry, and virtue, than for the 
general reputation he has in this town, inferior to none, but superior to 
most, for his mastery in the two points of his profession; namely, fair 
writing and arithmetic, so far, principally, as is subservient to accountant- 
ship. Now, so it is, that the late project, of which you cannot but have 
heard, of Mr. Neale, the Groom-Porter’s lottery, has almost extinguished 
for some time, at all places of public conversation in this town, especially 
among men of numbers, every other talk but what relates to the doctrine 
of determining between the true proportion of the hazards incident to 
this or that given chance or lot. On this occasion, it has fallen out that 
this gentleman is become concerned, more than in jest, to compass a 
solution that may be relied upon beyond what his modesty will suffer 
him to think his own alone, or any less than Mr. Newton’s, to be, to a 
question which he takes a journey on purpose to attend you with, and 
prayed my giving him this introduction to you to that purpose, which,

And most affectionate and faithful Servant, S. P. 


C. orig. | Isaac Newton to S. Pepys. 


Cambridge, Novbr 26, 1693. 


St—I was very glad to hear of your good health by Mr Smith, and 
to have any opportunity given me of showing how ready I should be to 
serve you or your friends upon any occasion, and wish that something of 
greater moment would give me a new opportunity of doing it, so as to 
become more useful to you than in solving only a mathematical question. 
In reading the question, it seemed to me at first to be ill stated; and in 
exainining Mr Smith about the meaning of some phrases in it, he put the 
case of the question the same as if A played with six dice till he threw 
a six: and then B threw as often with twelve, and C with eighteen, the 
one for twice as many, the other for thrice as many, sixes. To examine 
who had the advantage, I took the case of A throwing with one dice, and 
B with two—the former till he threw a six, the latter as often for two 
sixes; and found that A had the advantage. But whether A will have 
the advantage when he throws with six and B with twelve dice, I can- 
not tell: for the number of dice may alter the proportion of chances 
considerably, and I did not compute it in this case, the problem being 
a very hard one. And, indeed, upon reading the question anew, I found 
that these cases do not come within the question; for here an advantage 
is given to A by his throwing first till he throws a six: whereas, the 
question requires, that they throw upon equal luck, and by consequence 
that no advantage be given to any one by throwing first. The question 
is this: A has six dice in a box, with which he is to fling a six; B has 
in another box twelve dice, with which he is to fling two sixes; C has 
in another box eighteen dice, with which he is to fling three sixes. Qy, 
whether B and C have not as easy a task as A at even luck? If this 
last question must be understood according to the plainest sense of the 
words, I think that sense must be this: 

Ist. Because A, B, and C, are to throw upon even luck, there must 
be no advantage of luck given to any of them by throwing first or last, 
by making any thing depend upon the throw of any one, which does not 
equally depend on the throws of the other two: and, therefore, to bar — : 


SAMUEL PEPYS 2538 


all inequality of luck on these accounts, I would understand the question 
as if A, B, and C, were to throw all at the same time. 

Qdly, I take the most proper and obvious meaning of the words of 
the question to be, that when A flings more sixes than one, he flings a 
six, as well as when he flings but a single six, and so gains his expecta- 
tion: and so, when B flings more sixes than two, and C more than three, 
they gain their expectations. But if B throw under two sixes, and C 
under three, they miss their expectations; because, in the question, ’tis 
expressed that B is to throw two, and C three sixes. 

3dly, Because each man has his dice in a box, ready to throw and the 
question is put upon the chances of that throw, without naming any 
more throws than that. I take the question to be the same as if it had 
been put thus upon single throws. 

What is the expectation or hope of A to throw every time one six, at 
least with six dice? 

What is the expectation or hope of B to throw every time two sixes, 
at least, with twelve dice? 

What is the expectation or hope of C to throw every time three sixes, 
or more than three, with eighteen dice? 

And, whether has not B and C as great an expectation or hope to hit 
every time what they throw for, as A hath to hit what he throws for? 

If the question be thus stated, it appears, by an easy computation, 
that the expectation of A is greater than that of B or C; that is, the 
task of A is the easiest: and the reason is, because A has all the chances 
on sixes on his dice for his expectation, but B and C have not all the 
chances upon theirs; for, when B throws a single six, or C but one or 
two sixes, they miss of their expectations. This Mr Smith understands, 
and therefore allows that, if the question be understood as I have stated 
it, then B and C have not so easy a task as A; but he seems of opinion, 
that the question should be so stated, that B and C, as well as A, may 
haye all the chances of sixes on their. dice within their expectations. I 
do not see that the words of the question, as ’tis set down in your letter, 
will admit it; but this being no mathematical question, but a. question 
what is the true mathematical question, it belongs not to me to determine 
it. I have contented myself, therefore, to set down how, in my opinion, 
the question, according to the most obvious and proper meaning of the 
words, is to be understood; and that, if this be the true state of the 
question, then B and C have not so easy a task as A: but whether I have 
hit the true meaning of the question, I must submit to the better judg- 
ment of yourself and others. If you desire the computation, I will send 
it you.

Yr most humble and most obedient Servant,

254 CORRESPONDENCE OF 


Isaac Newton to S. Pepys. 


Cambridge, Dec. 16, 1693. 

Sir—In stating the case of the wager, you seem to have exactly the 
same notion of it with me; and to the question, Which of the three 
chances should Peter chuse, were he to have but one throw for his life? 
I answer, that if I were Peter, I would chuse the first. To give you 
the computation upon which this answer is grounded, I would state the 
question thus: 

A hath six dice in a box with which he is to fling at least one six, for 
a wager laid with R. 

B hath twelve dice in another box, with which he is to fling at least 
two sixes, for a wager laid with S. 

C hath eighteen dice in another box, with which he is to fling at least 
three sixes, for a wager laid with T. 

The stakes of R, S, and T, are equal; what ought A, B, and C, to stake, 
that the parties may play upon equal advantage? 

To compute this, I set down the following progressions of numbers:— 


iPropre Wie 1h 2 ie 4 5 6 the number of the dice.

chances for two sixes and 
Progr. 8. 1 15 150 1250 9375 { pepe 


The progressions in this table are thus found: the first progression, which 
expresses the number of the dice, is an arithmetical one; viz., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 
&c.; the second is found, by adding to every term, the term of the 
progression above it; viz, 0 + 1=1,1+4+22=3,3 4+ 3 = 6, 
6+ 4— 10,10 + 5 — 15, &c.; the third progression, which expresses 
the number of all the changes upon the dice, is found by multiplying 
the number 6 into itself continually; and the fourth, fifth, and seventh, 
are found by multiplying the number 5 into itself continually; the 
sixth is found by multiplying the terms of the first and fifth; viz. 
Ixili=i12x5=10,3 & 2 = 75,4 « 125 = 500, &c.; and the 
eighth is found by multiplying the terms of the second and seventh; viz., 
1xi=13x%5= 15,6 x 25 = 150, 10 % 125 = 1250, &c.: and by 
these rules the progressions may be continued on to as many dice as you 
please. 

Now, since A plays with six dice, to know what he and R ought to 
stake, I consult the numbers in the column under six, and there from 


SAMUEL PEPYS 255 


46656, the number of all the chances upon those dice, expressed in the 
third progression, I subduct 15625, the number of all the chances without 
a six, expressed in the fourth; and the remainder, 31031, is the number 
of all the chances, with one six or above: therefore the stake of A must 
be the stake of R, upon equal advantage, as 31031 to 15625, or #3931 
to 1; for their stakes must be as their expectations, that is, as the 
number of chances which make for them. In like manner, if you would 
know what B and S ought to stake upon twelve dice, produce the pro- 
gressions to the column of twelve dice, and the sum of the numbers in 
the fourth and sixth progressions; viz., 244140625 -+ 585937500— 
830078125, will be the number of chances for S; and this number, sub- 
ducted from the number of all the chances in the third progression, viz., 
2176782336, will leave 1346704211, the number of chances for B: there- 
fore the stake of B would be to the stake of S, as 1346704211 to 
830078125, or 2468704211 to 1. And so, by producing the progressions 
to the number of eighteen dice, and taking the sum of the numbers in 
the fourth, sixth, and eighth progressions for the number of chances 
for T, and the difference between this number and that in the third 
column for the number of the chances for C, you will have the propor- 
tion of their stakes upon equal advantage. And thence it will appear 
that, when the stakes of R, S, and T, are units, suppose one pound or 
one guinea, and by consequence equal, the stake of A must be greater 
than that of B, and that of B greater than that of C; and, therefore, 
A has the greatest expectation. The question might have been thus 
stated, and answered in fewer words: if Peter is to have but one throw 
for a stake of 1000/., and has his choice of throwing one six at least 
upon six dice, or two at least upon twelve, or three at least upon eighteen, 
which throw ought he to chuse; and of what value is his chance or ex- 
‘pectation upon every throw, were he to sell it? Amswer: Upon six dice 
there are 46656 chances, whereof 31031 are for him: upon twelve there 
are 2176782336 chances, whereof 1346704211 are for him: therefore, his 
chance or expectation is worth the 31031th part of 1000/. in the first 
case, and 1346704211th part of 1000/. in the second; that is, 665]. 0s. 2d. 
in the first case, and 618]. 13s. 4d in the second. In the third case, the 
value will be found still less. This, I think, Sir, is what you desired me 
to give you an account of; and if there be anything further, you may 
command

other MSS. which indeed are all exceeding valuable, he has 10 large 
Volumes fairly writ, consisting of original Letters, Instruments, &c., 
collected with great care and judgment. But such is his modesty (be- 
cause they were his own work) that he had concluded them all under 
this scanty Title, Miscellanies, Historical, Political, and Naval, in 10 
Volumes. ’Twas natural for any one to urge that Miscellanies (by which 
the world means nothing but a confus’d Rhapsodie) was too mean a 
Title for soe regular a Collection, and that the word Originals, or some- 


thing to express the real value of them, ought to be inserted. I told » 


him likewise, that, in my opinion, he could neither do justice to him- 
self, nor soe much service to the World as would necessary follow upon 
the mention of such a body of Rarities, unless he publish’d every distinct 
head through the whole X volumes. And if he agrees to it, I am satisfy’d 
there’s nothing in England can pretend to equal it; *twill be in my mind 
one of the greatest ornaments your Catalogue will have. In short, I 
would not bring it away till he had consider’d further of it. Among these 
Collections, he has a Catalogue of a great many Original Letters and 
Papers now in the Dutch Church here, and relating to the Reformation; 
these he’s ready to communicate.

not very apt to give any occasion for it. But so it is, that by a strange 
bent of nature, he hath spontaneously given himself up to the love 
of Antiquities, and looking into Records; Dr. Charlett telling me of 
several Catalogues of MSS. now before them at Oxford, which they owe 
to his transcribing: and, after this, what can you think his present want 
to be, and the only errand that has brought him up to London, and this

a sad town, and God knows when it will be a better, our losses at sea 
making a very melancholy exchange at both ends of it; the gentle-

across, without a yard of muslin in their shops to sell, while the ladies, 
they tell me, walk pensively by, without a shilling, I mean a good one, 
in their pockets to buy. One thing there is, indeed, that comes in my 
way as a Governor, to hear of, which carries a little mirth with it, and 
indeed is very odd. Two wealthy citizens are lately dead, and left their 
estates, one to a Blue Coat boy, and the other to a Blue Coat girl, in 
Christ's Hospital. The extraordinariness of which has led some of the 
magistrates to carry it on to a match, which is ended in a public 
wedding; he in his habit of blue satin, led by two of the girls, and she 
in blue, with an apron green, and petticoat yellow, all of sarsnet, led by 
two of the boys of the house, through Cheapside to Guildhall Chapel, 
where they were married by the Dean of St. Paul’s, she given by my

Hall, but the great day will be to-morrow, St. Matthew’s; when, so much

which disguised him very much; but now he has got good clothes and

Nov 12, 1696. 


Hon. Sir—I have now learnt as much as I could since the other day. 
Col. Scott, about 7 weeks ago, came to England in a seaman’s habit: he 
was not seen by any body I know till about 16 days ago, and then he 
appeared in pretty good habit, and a bob wig on, and pulled out a 
parchment with a broad seal to it, and said it was his pardon, and 
desired that man to get a silver box made to put it in; but he has 
not seen him since. The Colonel was at his house yesterday, but he 
was not at home. Whether it was a pardon he cannot tell, but Kings 
do not use to grant pardons before conviction, unless it be to noblemen, 
as to the Duke of Buckingham for killing Lord Shrewsbury, or the like 
the present King did to Colonel Beveridge for killing Mt Danby, and 
to some outlaws that he brought with him. But Colonel Scott has always 
been obnoxious to him: when he was in Scotland, he ran away with his 
regiment’s money, and was hanged in effigy: besides, I have employed a 
friend to search the Hanaper Office and the Petty Bag Office, where all 
patents of that nature pass, and for 16 years there has been no such 
patent passed. I am informed that he lives in Gray’s Inn, by 2 people 
that he has told so to. If I can any way further serve your honour, no 
person shall do it more faithfully.

what you told me you would bring to me the beginning of this week, 
namely, your gatherings relating to Fair Writing, and particularly the 
Heads which you tell me you have of several of our Writing Masters. 
Pray, therefore, let me now desire the sight hereof from you, as soon as 
with convenience you can, because (as I told you) I am just now making 
up, and finally putting together, my own collection on that subject. 
And pray forget not your solicitation for me to Major Ayres, and to 
look out for the Compartment of Fishes for me, I being lately told (by 
Mr. Sturt, I think) that there are variety of those Compartments pub- 
licly sold; but Major Ayres’s kindness must crown all. Adieu!

Durness, 24th October, 1699. 


Honoured Sir—Conforming to my promise, I send you all the in- 
formation I have met with in the inquiry you recommended to me, 
touching the Double Sight; and have just now received my Lord Tar- 
but’s* answer to me relating thereto, as follows:— 

“T remember that, several years ago, in answer to a letter of Mr. 
Boyle’s, I wrote to him about the Second Sight; a copy whereof receive 
enclosed. Since that time, I was not much in the North, nor did I 
either make any enquiries on purpose, or what I occasionally heard then 
differ considerably from what I had heard formerly. One particular of 
which was a footman of your great grandfather’s, who was mightily con- 
cerned upon seeing a dagger in the Lord Reay’s breast. He informed 
his master of the sight, who laughed at it. ‘Some months after, he 
gave the doublet which he did wear when the Seer did see the dagger 
in his breast, to his servant, who did wear or keep it about a year, 
and then gave it to this footman, who was the Seer, and who was stabbed 
in the breast by another, when this doublet was upon him. My Lord, 
you may inquire further into the truth of this.” 

This, Sir, is the answer I have had from my Lord Tarbut, and I 
enclose you a copy of his letter therein. I have since informed myself 
of the truth of the story about my grandfather’s footman, and find it 
literally true; as also another, much of the same nature, which I 
shall give you an account of, because I have it from a sure author, a 
friend of my own, of unexceptionable honesty, to whose father the thing 
happened, and he was himself witness to it all. E 

John Macky, of Dilril, having put on a new suit of clothes, was told 
by a Seer that he did see the gallows upon his coat, which he never 
noticed; but, some time after, gave his coat to his servant, William 
Forbes, to whose honesty there could be nothing said at that time; but 
he was shortly after hanged for theft, with the same coat about him:

to in the Highlands, are here introduced seriatim, without reference to the

3In the Peerage of Scotland, printed for J. Almon, 1767, is the following 
account of Lord Tarbut:—Sir George Mackenzie, eldest son of the first Baronet, 
was a man of great learning, and well versed in the laws. He had a com- 
mission from Charles II., then in exile, to raise what forces he could, in order 
to promote his restoration; and for those good services, when His Majesty re- 
turned to se age he was made a Senator of the College of Justice, Clerk Regis- 
ter, one of the Privy Council, and Justice General; and by James II., created 
Viscount Tarbut in 1685. In the os of Queen_Anne, he was_ constituted 
Secretary of State, and a Privy Councillor; created Earl of Cromartie, in 1702, 
and continued in the post of Justice General. He died in August, 1714, et. 
suz 84. His grandson, George third Earl of Cromartie, having taken an active 
part in the rebellion of 1745, was found guilty of High Treason, and his estates 
and honours were forfeited to the Crown; but he was pardoned, and permitted 
to reside in England till his death, in 1766.

my informer being an eye-witness of his execution, and one who haa 
heard what the Seer said before. I have heard several other stories, 
but shall trouble you with no more than what have happened since I 
last came into the country. 

There was a servant woman in Mindo Aubrey’s house, in Langdale, 
on Strathnaver, in the Shire of Sutherland, who told her mistress she 
saw the gallows about her brother’s neck, who had then the repute of 
an honest man: at which her mistress being offended, put her out of the 
house. Her brother, nevertheless, having stolen some goods, was sentenced 
to be hanged the 22d August, 1698; yet, by the intercession of several 
gentlemen, who became bail for his future behaviour, was set free, 
though not customary by our law; which occasioning one of the gentle- 
men, Lieutenant Alex. Macky, to tell the woman servant that she was 
once deceived, the man being set at liberty, she replied, he is not dead 
yet, but shall certainly be hanged; and accordingly, he betaking him- 
self to stealing anew, and being catched, was hanged the 14th of Febru- 
ary, 1699. 

I was this year hunting in my forest, having several Highlanders with 
me; and, speaking of the Second Sight, one told me there was a boy in 
company that had it, and had told many things that had fallen out to 
be true; who being called, and confessing it, I asked him what he saw 
last: he told me he had seen, the night before, such a man by name, who 
lived thirty miles from that place, break my Forester’s servant’s head; 
which the servant overhearing, laughed at him for saying that; that could 
not be, they being very good friends: so as I did not believe it, but it 
has certainly happened since. 

These stories, with what is contained in my Lord Tarbut’s letter, 


are the most satisfactory for proving Second Sight of any I have heard, | 


and the people are so persuaded of the truth of it in the Highlands and 


Isles, that one would be more laughed at for not believing it there than® 


for affirming it elsewhere. For my own part, I do not question it; 
though that be of small weight towards the persuading others to the 
belief of it. But I dare affirm, had you the same reasons I have, you 
would be of my opinion: I mean, had you heard all the stories I have, 
attested by men of honour not to be doubted, and been eye-witness to 
some of them yourself, as the breaking of the man’s head, foretelling 
‘ of another’s death, and another story, which the same boy told me long 
.ere they happened. There was a blind woman in this country, in my 
time, who saw them perfectly well, and foretold several things that 
happened, as hundreds of honest men will attest. She was not born 
blind, but became so by accident, to that degree, that she did not see 
so much as a glimmering, yet saw the Second Sight as perfectly as 
before. 

I have got a manuscript, since I came last to Scotland, whose author, 
though a parson, does, after giving a very full account of the Second

Sight, defend there being no sin in it, for reasons too long to be here 
inserted: but, with the first opportunity, I shall send you a copy of his 
books; and I have this day received a letter from a friend I had em- 
ployed for that purpose, promising me the acquaintance of this man, of 
which I am very covetous, being persuaded it will give me much light 
in this matter. 

There is a people in these countries surnamed “ Mansone,” who see 
this sight naturally, both men and women, though they commonly deny 
it, but are so affirmed to do by all their neighbours. A Seer, with whom 
I was reasoning on this subject, finding me very incredulous in what he 
asserted, offered to let me see as well as himself. I asked whether he 
could free me from seeing them thereafter; whereto he answering me he 
could not, put a stop to my curiosity. The manner of showing them to 
another is this: the Seer puts both his hands and feet above your’s and 
mutters some words to himself: which done, you both see them alike. 

This, Sir, is all the information I can send you on this head, till 
I have the opportunity of sending. you the fore-mentioned Treatise: 
remaining, 

Honoured Sir, your most humble Servant, 
Reay. 


The Lord Tarbut, on the same subject, to Mr. Boyle. 


Sir—I had heard very much, but believed very little, of the Second 
Sight; yet, it being affirmed by several of great varacity, I was induced 
to make some inquiry after it in the year 1652, being then confined to 
abide in the North of Scotland by the English Usurpers. The more 
general accounts of it were, that many Highlanders, yet far more 
Islanders, were qualified with this sight: that men, women and children, 
indistinctively, were subject to it; and sometimes children whose parents 
were not subject to it; sometimes people when come to age, who had it 
not when young, nor could any tell by what means produced. It is 
a trouble to most of those who are subject to it. The sight is of no 
long duration, only continuing so long as they keep their eyes steadily 
without trembling: the hardy, therefore, fix their look, that they may see 
the longer, but the timorous see only glances, their eyes always trembling 
at the first sight of the object. That which is generally seen by them 
is the species of living creatures and inanimate things which are in 
motion, such as ships and habits upon persons: they never see the species 
of any person who is already dead. What they foresee fails not to 
exist in the mode and place where it appears to them. They cannot tell 
what space of time shall intervene betwixt the apparition and real 
existence; but some of the hardiest and longest experience have some 
Tules for conjectures: as, if they see a man with a shrouding-sheet in 
the apparition, they would conjecture at the nearness and remoteness 


264 CORRESPONDENCE OF 


of his death by the more or less of his body that is covered with it. 
They will ordinarily see their absent friends, though at a great distance, 
sometimes no less than from America to Scotland, sitting, standing, or 
walking, in some certain place, and then they conclude with assurance 
that they will see them so and there. If a man be in love with a 
woman, they will ordinarily see the species of that man standing by 
her; and so, likewise, if a woman be in love. They conjecture at their 
marrying, by the species looking on the person; at their not marrying, 
by the species appearing at a distance from the beloved person. If they 
see the species of any person who is sick to death, they see them covered 
over with a shrouding-sheet. These, generally, I had verified to me by 
such of them as did see, and were esteemed honest and sober by all the 
neighbourhood, for I inquired after such for my information: and be- 
cause there were more Seers in the Isles of Lewis, Harris, and Uist, 
than any other place, I did entreat Sir James M‘Donald, who is now 
dead, Sir Normade M‘Leod, and Mr. Daniel Morison, a very honest 
parson, who is still alive, to make inquiry into this strange sight and 
to acquaint me therewith; which they did, and found an agreement in 
these Generals, and informed me of many instances confirming what they 
said. But, though men of honour and discretion, being but at second 
hand, I would choose rather to put myself than my friends in the 
hazard of being laughed at for incredible relations. 

I was once travelling in the Highlands, and a good number of 
servants with me, as is usual there, and one of them going a little 
before me to enter into a house where I was to stay all night; and, 
going hastily to the door, he suddenly started back with a screech, and 
fell by a stone, against which he dashed his foot. I asked what the 
matter was, for he seemed to me to be very much frighted; he told me 
very seriously that I should not lodge in that house because shortly a 
dead coffin would be carried out of it, for many were carrying it when 
he was heard cry. I neglecting his words and staying there, he said to 
others of the servants he was very sorry for it, and that what he saw 
would surely come to pass; and though no sick person was then there, 
yet the landlord, a healthy Highlander, died of an apoplectic fit before 
I left the house. 

In the year 1653, Alexander Monro, afterwards Lieutenant-Colonel to 
the Earl of Dumbarton’s regiment, and I were walking in a place called* 

, in Loch Broom, in a plain at the foot of a rugged hill; there was 
a servant working with a spade in the walk before us, his back to us, 
and his face to the hill. He took no notice of us, though we passed ‘by 
near to him, which made me look at him; and, perceiving that he stared, 
I conjectured he was a Seer; wherefore, I called to him, at which he 
started and smiled. “ What are you doing?” said I. He answered, “I 
have seen a very strange thing—an army of Englishmen, leading of 


2A blank in the MS.

SAMUEL PEPYS 265 


horses, coming down that hill; and a number of them are come down to 
the plain, and eating the barley which is growing in the field near to 
the hill.” This was on the fourth of May, for I noted the day, and it 
was four or five days before the barley was sown in the field he spoke 
of. Alexander Monro asked him how he knew they were Englishmen: 
he answered, because they were leading horses, and had on hats and 
boots, which he knew no Scotchman would have on there. We took little 
notice of the whole story as other than a foolish vision, but wished that 
an English party were there, we being then at war with them, and the 
place almost inaccessible for horsemen. But the beginning of August 
thereafter, the Earl of Middleton, then Lieutenant for the King in the 
Highlands, having occasion to march a party of his towards the South 
_ Islands, sent his Foot through a place called Inverlacwell, and the fore- 
part, which was the first down the hill, did fall to eating the barley which 
was on the little plain under it: and Monro, calling to mind what the 
Seer told us in May preceding, wrote of it, and sent an express to me to 
Lochslime, in Ross, where I then was, with it. 

I had occasion to be in company where a young lady was, excuse my 
not naming of persons, and I was told there was a notable Seer in 
company; and I called to him to speak with me, as I did ordinarily 
when I found any of them; and, after he had answered several questions, 
I asked him if he saw any person to be in love with that lady: he said 
he did, but knew not the person; for, during the two days he had been 
in her company, he perceived one standing near her with his head leaning 
on her shoulders, which he said did foretell that the man should marry 
her, and die before her, according to his observation. This was in the 
year 1655. I desired him to describe the person, which he did; so I could 
conjecture, by the description, that it was such a one who was of that 
lady’s acquaintance, though there was no thought of their inter-marriage 
till two years afterwards; and having occasion, in 11e year 1657, to find 
this Seer, who was an Islander, in company with the other person whom 
I conjectured to have been described by him, I called him aside, and 
asked if that was the person he saw beside the lady near two years then 
past: he said it was he, indeed, for he had seen that lady just then stand- 
ing by him hand-in-hand. This was some few months before their mar- 
Triage, and the man is since dead, and the lady still alive. I shall trouble 
you with but one more, which I thought the most remarkable of all [that] 
occurred to me. In January, 1682, the above-named Colonel Munro and 
I happened to be in the house of William M‘Leod, of Feirinhed, in the 
County of Ross; he, the landlord, and I, sitting in three chairs near the 
fire, and in the corner of the great chimney there were two Islanders 
who were that very night come to the house, and were related to the 
landlord. While the one of them was talking with Munro, I perceived 
the other to look oddly towards me, and from his looks, and his being an 
Islander, I conjectured that he was a Seer, and asked him why he stared? 


266 CORRESPONDENCE OF 


He answered by desiring me to rise from that chair, for it was an un- 
lucky one. I asked, “ Why?” He answered, “ Because there was a dead 
man in the chair next to it.”—“ Well,” said I, “if it be but in the next, 
I may safely sit here: but what is the likeness of the man?” He said he 
was a tall man, with a long grey coat, booted, and one of his legs hang- 
ing over the chair, and his head hanging down to the other side, and 
his arm backward, as it were broken. There were then some English 
troops quartered near the place, and there being at that time a great 
frost after a thaw, the country was wholly covered over with ice. Four 
or five Englishmen riding by this house, not two hours after the vision, 
where we were sitting by the fire, we heard a great noise, which proved 
to be these troopers, with the help of other servants, carrying in one of 
their number who had got a very mischievous fall and had his arm broke; 
and, falling frequently into swooning fits, they brought him to the hall, 
and set him in the very chair and in the very posture which the Seer 
had proposed; but the man did not die, though he revived with great 
difficulty. 

Among the accounts given me by Sir Normade M‘Leod, there was one 
worthy of special notice, which was this:—There was a gentleman in 
the Isle of Harris, who was always seen by the Seers with an arrow in 
his thigh; such in the Isle who thought these prognostications infallible, 
did not doubt but he would be shot in the thigh before he died. Sir 
Normade told me that he heard it the subject of discourse for many 
years, when that gentleman was present: at last, he died without any 
such accident. Sir Normade was at his burial at St. Clement’s Church, 
in the Isle of Harris: at the same time the corpse of another gentleman 
was brought to be buried in the very same church. The friends on either 
side came to debate who should first enter the church, and, in a trice, 
from words they came to blows: one of the number, who was armed with 
a bow and arrow, let one fly among them; now, every family in that Isle 
have their burying-place in the church in stone chests, and the bodies 
are carried on open biers to the place of burial. Sir Normade, having 
appeased the tumult, one of the arrows was found shot in the dead 
man’s thigh: to this Sir Normade himself was a witness. In the account 
Mr. Daniel Morison, Parson in the Lewis, gave me, there was one, 
which, though it be heterogeneous from this subject, yet it may be 
worth your notice.—It was of a young woman in this parish who’ was 
mightily frightened by seeing her own image still before her, always when 
she came into the open air, and the back of the image always to her; so 
that it was not a reflection, as in a mirror, but the species of such a body 
as her own, and in a very like habit, which appeared to herself con- 
tinually before her. The parson bred her a long time with him, but she 
had no remedy of her evil, which troubled her exceedingly. I was told 
afterwards that, when she was four or five years older, she saw it not. 

These are matters of fact, which, I assure you, are truly related; but 
these, and all others that occurred to me by information or otherwise,

could never lead me into so much as a remote conjecture of the cause of 
so extraordinary a phenomenon: whether it be a quality in the eyes of 
some persons in those parts, concurring with a quality in the air also; 
or whether such species be every where, though not seen for want of eyes 
so qualified, or from whatever cause, I must leave to the inquiry of 
clearer judgments than my own. But a hint may be taken from this 
image which appeared still to this young woman aforementioned, and 
from another mentioned by Aristotle, in the 4th of his Metaphysics, if 
I remember right, for it is long since I read it; as also from that 
common opinion that young infants, unsoiled with many objects, do see 
apparitions which are not seen by those of older years: likewise from this, 
that several who did see the Second Sight when in the Highlands or 
Isles, yet, when transported to live in other countries, especially in Amer- 
ica, quite lose this quality; as it was told me by a gentleman who knew 
some of them in Barbadoes, that did not see any visions there, although 
he knew them to be Seers when they lived in the Isles of Scotland. 


C.] S. Pepys to the Lord Reay. 


York Buildings, November 21, 1699. 


My Lord—I can never enough acknowledge the honour of your Lord- 
ship’s letter. Could I have foreseen the least part of the fatigue my in- 
quiries have cost your Lordship in the answering, I should have proceeded 
with more tenderness in the burthening you with them. But, since your 
Lordship has had the goodness to undergo it, I cannot repent me of 
being the occasion of your giving the world so early a proof of what 
may be further expected from a genius so curious, so painful, so dis- 
cerning, and every way so philosophical, as your Lordship has herein 
shown yours to be; in the exercise whereof I cannot, as an old man, but 
wish you a long life, and a happy one, to the honour of your noble 
family, your country, the whole commonwealth of learning, and more 
particularly that part of it, the Royal Society of England, dedicated to 
the advancement of natural knowledge, whereto your Lordship is already 
become a peculiar ornament. 

And now, my Lord, for the matter of your letter: it carries too much 
observation and weight in it to be too easily spoken to; and, therefore, I 
shall pray your Lordship’s bearing with me if I ask a little more time. 
This only I shall not spare now to say, that, as to the Second Sight, 
I little expected to have been ever brought so near to a conviction of 
the reality of it, as by your Lordship’s and Lord Tarbut’s authorities I 
must already own myself to be: not that I yet know how to subscribe 
my Lord Tarbut’s charging it upon some singularity of quality in the 
air, or eye of the person affected therewith; forasmuch as I have never 


268 CORRESPONDENCE OF 


heard of other consequences of any indisposure in the medium or organ 
of sight, than what related to the miscolouring, misfiguring, diminishing, 
or undue magnifying, of an object truly existing and exposed thereto; 
whereas, in this case, we are entertained with daggers, shrouds, arrows, 
gibbets, and God knows what, that indeed are not, but must be the crea- 
tures of the mind only, however directed to them, and not to the eye. 
Nor yet as to the reality of the effect would I be thought, my Lord, to 
derive this propension of mind to the belief of it, from the credit only 
which I find it to have obtained amony your neighbours, the Highland- 
ers; for that it had been my particular fortune to have outlived the be- 
lief of another point of faith relating to the eyes, no less extraordinary 
nor of less universal reception elsewhere;—I mean the mal de ojo in 
Spain; with a third, touching the sanitive and prophetic faculty of the 
Saludadores there: as, having heretofore pursued my inquiries thereinto 
so far, upon the place, as to fully convince myself of the vanity thereof, 
especially of the latter, from the very professions of its professors. But, 
my Lord, where, as in the matter before us, the power pretended to is so 
far from being of any advantage to the possessors, as, on the contrary, to 
be attended with constant uneasiness to them, as well as for the most part 
of evil and serious import, and irresistibly so, to the persons it is applied 
to; in consequence whereof, as your Lordship well notes, your Seers are 
both desirous to be themselves rid of it, and ready to communicate it 
to any other that will adventure on it; I say, these considerations, joined 
to that of its being so abundantly attested by eyewitnesses of unques- 
tionable faith, authority, and capacity to judge, will not permit me to 
distrust the truth of it, at least till something shall arise from my fur- 
ther deliberations upon your Lordship’s papers leading me thereto, than, 
I must acknowledge, there yet does; in which case I shall give myself 
the liberty of resorting again to your Lordship, praying, in the mean 
time, to know how far I have your leave to make some of my learned 
friends partakers with me in the pleasure of them, and of what your 
Lordship has been pleased, with so much generosity, to promise me of 
further light upon this subject, from the Manuscript lately come to your 
Lordship’s hand, a copy of which will be a most welcome and lasting 
obligation upon me,

pectation of sending you the Manuscript I promised you, which, being 
obliged to stay some time from home, you are not yet to expect from

me. You may, if you think fit, communicate my letter to whom you please; 
for there is nothing in it but what I know to be true, or have good 
authors for; and think it needless, though I have heard many, to relate 
more stories of Second Sight, save one which has happened since I wrote 
last. 

A gentleman, who was married to a cousin of Drynie’s, living in the 
county of Ross, coming on a visit to him at his house, called him to 
the door, the ordinary compliments being passed, to speak to him about 
some business. But when they went out, he was so frightened that he 
fainted, and, being recovered, would in no wise stay in the house that 
night, but went with his wife to a farmer’s hard by; where, she asking 
him why he left the house, he told her publicly that he knew Drynie 
would die that night; for, when they went to the door, he saw his wind- 
ing-sheet about him. And, accordingly, the gentleman did die that night, 
though he went to bed in perfect health, and had had no sickness for 
some time before. I had this story from Drynie’s own son, the farmer, 
his servant, and the man himself who saw it. For my part, I am fully 
convinced of this Sight; but what to attribute it to I know not, nor can 
I be convinced, any more than you, that it depends on any quality, either 
of the air or eyes, but would gladly know your opinion of it. 

I hope to see you shortly in London, 

And am, Sir, your very humble Servant, 
Reay. 


C.] Dr Hickes to S. Pepys. 


London, June 19, 1700. 


Honoured Sir—I have been ill of a cold since I had the honour to wait 
upon you and Mr. Hewer, and that hath been the cause why I have been 
so long in performing the promise I made, of sending you in writing 
some things you gave me occasion to say, by imparting to me my Lord 
Reay’s letter to you, and the letter my Lord Tarbut wrote to him con- 
cerning the Second Sight. This is a very proper term for that sight 
which the Scottish Seers or Visionists have of things by representation; 
for, as the sight of a thing itself is, in order of nature, the first or pri- 
mary sight of it, so the sight of it, by any representation, whether really 
made without, as all apparitions are or within upon the stage of imag- 
ination, as all sorts of visions are made, is, in order of nature, the second 
or secondary sight of that thing; and, therefore, the sight of any thing 
by representation, though first in order of time, may properly be called 
the Second Sight thereof. Thus, the sight of a picture in order of nature, 
is indeed the second sight of the thing whose picture it is, and, if custom 
would allow it, might be so called. But the Scotch have restrained the 
use of the term only to that sight of things by appearance, or represen- 


270 CORRESPONDENCE OF 


tation, which those Seers or Visionists among them used to have; but 
whether in outward apparitions always, or inward visions, or some times 
one way and some the other, I have not yet learned, but it would be an 
inquiry proper for the subject, and fit for that ingenious Lord to make. 

I told you, when I was in Scotland, I never met with any learned man, 
either among the Divines or Lawyers, who doubted of the thing. I had 
the honour to hear Lord Tarbut tell the story of the Second Sight, of 
my Lord Middleton’s march with his army down a hill, which you read 
in the letter written by his Lordship to Mr. Boyle. It was before the 
Duke of Lauderdale he told it, when his Grace was High Commissioner of 
Scotland, about twenty-two years ago. At the same time, as I remember, 
he entertained the Duke with a story of Elf Arrows, which was very sur- 
prising to me; they are of a triangular form, somewhat like the beard 
or pile of our old English arrows of war, almost as thin as one of our old 
groats, made of flints or pebbles, or such like stones; and these the coun- 
try people in Scotland believe that Evil Spirits, which they call Elves, 
from the old Danish word Alfar, which signifies Damon, Genius, Satyrus, 
do shoot into the hearts of cattle; and, as I remember, my Lord Tarbut, 
or some other Lord, did produce one of these Elf arrows, which one of 
his tenants or neighbours took out of the heart of one of his cattle that 
died of an usual death. 

I have another strange story, but very well attested, of an Elf arrow, 
that was shot at a venerable Irish Bishop by an Evil Spirit in a terrible 
noise, louder than thunder, which shaked the house where the Bishop 
was; but this I reserve for his son to tell you, who is one of the deprived 
Irish Clergymen, and very well known, as by other excellent pieces, so 
by his late book, entitled, “The Snake in the Grass.” I mention this 
to encourage you to desire my Lord to send you a more perfect account 
of these Elf arrows; the subject being of so near an alliance to that of 
the Second Sight, and to witchcraft, which is akin to them both. As for 
this subject, I had a very tragical but authentic story, told me by the 
Duke of Lauderdale, which happened in the family of Sir John Dal- 
tymple, Laird of Stair, and then Lord President, as they call the Lord 
Chief -Justice of Scotland. His Grace had no sooner told it me, but 
my Lord President coming into the room, he desired my Lord to tell 
it me himself, which altering his countenance, he did with a very mel- 
ancholick air; but it is so long since, that I dare not trust my memory 
with relating the particulars of it, though it was a memorable story; 
but if my Lord Reay would be pleased to make enquiry into it of the 
present heir of the family, he would find it a story ot great authority, 
and worthy of being written by his excellent pen. 

Sir, I beg your pardon for this digression from the Second Sight to 
Witches; and perhaps the Divine whom my Lord Reay telis you hath

written a book in defence of the innocency of seeing things by the help 
of it, would be offended with me for joining them together. In truth, 
Sir, I long to see that book, being myself uncertain in my opinion 
whether that way of seeing things be always from a good or evil cause, 
or sometimes from one and sometimes from the other. One would hope, 
that, in good men, who contribute nothing towards the having of it, it 
should be from good spirits, which the old Danes and Norwegians, from 
whom the Scotch have a great part of their language, called Lias Alfar, 
i. e., Spirits of Light; but in those who come to have it by certain forms 
of words, which we call charms, or doing and performing such ceremo- 
nies as are mentioned in my Lord’s letter, one would think it proceeded 
from evil spirits, which the old Danes and Norwegians called Stuart 
Alfar, i. e., Black Spirits: nay, when wicked men have it, though with- 
out contributing anything towards it by charms or ceremonies, one would 
fear upon the account of their wickedness, which provokes God and 
their good angels to abandon them, that it proceeded from Eyil Spirits. 
It may also be presumed to proceed from the same cause, in men other- 
wise of unblamed lives, who are addicted to the study of magic, or judi- 
cial astrology, or who are known to converse with Demons, as many 
amongst the learned, both ancient and modern, both foreigners and our 
own countrymen, are said to have done. 

A good number of well-attested stories out of good historians and 
records, as well as living witnesses, would help to resolve these doubts. 
Among the former are to be consulted the histories of the old Northern 
nations, written in old Danish or Swedish, which commonly have the title 
of Saga, which signifies a narration of history, and have been printed of 
late in Denmark and Sweden. But it may be those theories, and many 
more, are sufficiently resolved and accounted for in the book above men- 
tioned, which my Lord hath promised to send you; but if not, his Lord- 
ship has great opportunities of farther inquiry into facts, by which, as 
by phenomena, they may be resolved. It was commonly reported, when 
I was in Scotland, that the Lord Seaforth, then living, had the Second 
Sight, and thereby foretold a dreadful storm to some of his friends, in 
which they had like to have been cast away. I once heard the Duke 
of Lauderdale rally him about it, but he neither did own it nor disown 
it; according to that maxim of the civil law, “ Qui tacet aut non negat, 
sic utique non fatetur.” 

At the same time, there was a girl in custody at Edinburgh, whose 
name was Janet Douglas, about 12 or 13 years of age, famous for the 
Second Sight, and the discovery of witches, and their malefices and en- 
chantments thereby. The girl first signalized herself in the Western 
Islands, where she discovered how one Sir G. Maxwell was tormented 
in effigy by witches. She was not known there, where she made this, 
which was her first, discovery, but from thence she came to Glasgow, 


272 CORRESPONDENCE OF 


whither her fame having got before her, the people in great numbers 
ran out to meet her. As she was surrounded with the crowd, she called 
out to one man, a goldsmith, as I remember, and told him that of so 
long a time he had not thriven in his trade, though he was very diligent 
in it, because an image was made against him, which he might find in 
such a corner of his shop; and when the man went home, there he found 
it where she said it was; and the image was such, both as to matter and 
form, as she had described it, viz., a little rude image made of clay. She 
told another, that he and his wife, who had been a very loving couple, of 
late had lived in great discord, to the grief and astonishment of them 
both; and when the man asked the reason, she answered, as she did 
before, that there was an image made against them. I have forgot 
whether she named the witches who made those images, as she did those 
that made that in which they tortured Sir George Maxwell. But by these, 
and other such discoveries, she made such tumults and commotions among 
the people of Glasgow, that the magistrates thought fit to confine her, 
and sent an account of her to the Privy Council at Edinburgh, who sent 
for her up in custody; but, when she came near the city, the people went 
out to meet her in vast crowds, and, as she was surrounded with them, 
she accused several persons of witchcraft, which obliged them to put her 
in close confinement, to keep the people and their minds quiet from the 
commotions she had raised in them. This happened a little before the — 
Duke of Lauderdale went the last time as High Commissioner into Scot- 
land, in May, 1678, when I had the honour to attend him as his domestic 
Chaplain. 

Hearing these and many other stories of this girl, I had desire to see 
her, and discourse with her; but it was some time before I could obtain 
leave to go to her; because an order had been made in Council, before we 
came into Scotland, that no one should be admitted to her. In the interim, 
upon an invitation by the then Lord Archbishop of Glasgow, Dr. Bur- 
net, of honourable memory, afterwards made Archbishop of St. Andrew’s, 
I went to see Glasgow, where I had the happiness to meet Dr. Rosse, 
then Lord Bishop of Argyle, who afterwards succeeded Dr. Burnet in 
the Archbishoprick of St. Andrew’s, of which he was deprived, with the 
whole order, soon after the Revolution. It was from him that I had the 
stories above related concerning Janet Douglas, with many more which I 
have forgotten, from her first appearance in the Highlands to her coming to 
Glasgow. My Lord Archbishop is still living; and if my Lord Reay 
would please to inquire of him, and many others yet alive, about that 
girl, he would be able to give you an account of her much more worthy 
your knowledge than any thing I can now write of her, at so great a 
distance of time. One thing I must not omit to tell you—that in all her 
marches from Sir George Maxwell’s to Edinburgh, nobody knew her, 
nor would she discover to any one who she was. 

After I returned to Glasgow, I renewed my petition to my Lord Duke 
for leave to see Janet Douglas, which he granted me. My desire of see- 


SAMUEL PEPYS — 273 


ing her arose from a great curiosity I had to ask her some questions 
about the Second Sight, by which she pretended to make all her discov- 
eries. I took a reverend and learned Diyine with me, one Mr. Scott, 
Minister of the Church of the Abbey of Holyrood, now the Palace of the 
Scottish Kings. When we were first brought to her, I found her, as I 
had heard her described, a girl of very great assurance, undaunted, 
though surprised at our coming, and suspicious that I was sent to betray 
her; this made her very shy of conversing with us; but, after many 
and serious protestations on my own part that I came for no other end 
but to ask her some questions about the Second Sight, to which she 
pretended, she at last promised she would freely answer me, provided I 
would use my interest with my Lord High Commissioner to obtain her 
liberty, upon condition she went into England, never again to appear 
in Scotland, which I promised to do, 

Upon this I began to premise something upon the baseness of lying 
and deceiving, and especially of pretending to false revelations, and the 
dangerous consequences of such practices, which made all such lying pre- 
tenders odious to God and man; and then, requiring her, in the presence 
of God, to tell me nothing but the truth, she promised me, with a serious 
air, to tell me nothing but the very truth. I then asked her, if indeed she 
had the Second Sight; and if by that she knew those things she had 
discovered; to which she answered in the affirmative. I then asked her 
if she thought it proceeded from a good or evil cause; upon which she 
turned the question upon me, and asked me what I thought of it. I told 
her plainly, I feared it was from an evil cause; but she replied quickly, 
she hoped it was from good. I then asked her if it came upon her by 
any act of her own, as by saying any words, or performing any actions 
or ceremonies; to which she replied No. I asked her, upon this, if she 
remembered her baptismal vow; but she did not understand my question 
till I began to explain it; and then, with great quickness replied, she 
remembered it, and called to mind, that she had renounced the Devil 
and all his works; and then I told her that by the devil was meant Satan, 
the prince of devils, and all evil spirits under him, and asked her if she 
renounced them all, which she said she did, Then I asked if she [would] 
renounce them all in a form of words that I had provided; which, prom- 
ising to do, I bid her say after me, which she did in the most serious 
and emphatical expressions that I was able to devise. I then asked her 
if she could say the Lord’s Prayer; she said Yes: I bid her say it upon 
her knees, which she did, I then asked her if she ever prayed to God 
to deliver her from the power of the devil and all evil spirits; but not 
answering readily and clearly to that question, I then asked her if she 
would make such a prayer to God upon her knees, which I had composed 
for her, which she did without any difficulty. Then I proceeded to ask 
her at what distance she saw persons and things by the Second Sights 


VOL. IV. T 


274 CORRESPONDENCE OF 


she replied, at the same distance they were really from her, whether 
more or less. Then I asked her if the Second Sight came upon her sleep- 
ing or waking: she answered, never sleeping, but always when she was 
awake. I asked this question, to know whether the Second Sight was by 
outward representation, which I call apparition, or by inward repre- 
sentation on the theatre of the imagination caused by some spirit; or, 
that I may once more use my own terms for distinction, whether these 
Second Sight folks were Seers or Visionists, or sometimes one and some- 
times the other. Then I asked her if she was wont to have any trouble, 
disorder, or consternation of mind, before or after the Second Sight came 
upon her; to which she answered, Never, but was in the same temper 
at those as at all other times. Then I asked her if the Second Sight never 
left any weariness or faintness upon her; or listlessness to speak, walk, 
or do any other business; to which she always answered, No; adding that 
she was always then as before. 

These two answers of hers do not agree with some accounts in my 
Lord’s letter, wherein, as I remember, he speaks of one who said he had 
always perturbation of mind attending the Second Sight; but, as to this, 
there may be a difference from the different temper of the patients, and 
the different stock and temper of the animal spirits in them. This girl, 
as I have observed before, was of a bold, undaunted spirit, and might 
bear those sights, from what cause soever, without any fear or perturba- 
tion, which others of more passive tempers, and a less stock of animal 
spirits, could not so well endure. There seems to have been this differ- 
ence among the prophets themselves; whereof some, as we read, received 
the prophetical influx with great terrors, labour, and consternation, of 
which they complained when their visions-or apparitions were over, and 
desired of God to be excused from the prophetical influx, and the burthen 
of it; but, of others, we do not read they had any such complaints. One 
of the last questions I asked this girl was, if she desired to have the 
Second Sight taken from her, to which she replied, what God pleased. 

After I had discoursed with her in this manner, as long as I thought 
convenient, I returned home, and gave the Duke an account of my con- 
versation, with which he was pleased; and I also told him of my promise 
to intercede with his Grace for her liberty, upon condition she might go 
into England: but he said that would not be convenient for certain rea- 
sons. After receiving which answer, I sent her word I could not obtain 
her liberty; and so she was shut up all the while we were there, but, soon 
after we came away, she was set at liberty. When I heard of it, I made 
all the inquiry I could what was become of her, and how she came to 
obtain her liberty; but I could not get any further account of her, which 
made me suspect that she was the child of some person of honour or 
quality, for whose sake all things were hushed. When I was with her, 
I asked of her parentage, but she would tell me nothing of it; I also 


—— a 


SAMUEL PEPYS 275 


told her how I observed how her words and expressions were of the bet- 
ter sort, and asked her how she, being a Highlander, and in appearance a 
poor girl, came to speak so well. To this she artfully replied, by ask- 
ing me why I should suppose it so difficult for her to learn to express 
herself well. Indeed, her wit and cunning were both answerable to her 
assurance, which I told you was very great. 

I designed to give a second visit, but my first made so much noise 
about the town, that it was not thought fit; and I did not press for leave 
again, because I had reason to believe the denial of her liberty would 
make her sullen and reserved. The famous Lord Advocate, Sir George 
Mackenzie, of immortal memory, designed to write her history: but why 
he did not, I can give no account. People were divided in their opinions 
of her: some suspected her for an impostrix: but others, of whom I 
‘was one myself, thought that she really was what she pretended; being 
induced to that opinion from the notoriety of the facts which the most 
incredulous and suspicious could not deny. 

If you think these notices worth imparting to Mr. Hewer, I pray you 
to communicate them to him, and to give him my humble thanks and 
service. You know what business I am daily employed in: were not my 
time and thoughts taken up with that, I would have transcribed the first 
draught of this narrative with my own hand, and then it would have 
come to you in a better dress, and more worthy of your perusal; but as 
it is, be pleased to accept it as a small token of the great respect of him, 
who, by inclination, as well as by the many obligations you have laid 
upon him, is, Honoured Sir,

London, May 27th, 1701. 


St—I cannot give you a greater instance of my willingnesse to gratify 
your curiosity in any thing within my knowledge, than the sending you 
this foolish letter. The story I told you the other day relating to what 
they call in Scotland the Second Sight, is of soe old a date, and soe many 
of the circumstances out of my memory, that I must begin, as old women 
doe their tales to children, “ Once upon a time.” 

The matter was thus:—One day, I know by some remarkable circum- 
stances it was towards the middle of February, 1661-2, the old Earl of 
Newborough' came to dine with my father at Worcester-House, and 
another Scotch gentleman with him, whose name I cannot call to mind. 

1Sir James Livingston, Bart., of Kinnaird, Gentleman of the Bedchamber to 
Charles I., who created him Viscount Newburgh in 1647. On the Restoration, 


he was constituted Captain of the Guards, and advanced to the dignity of an 
1. He died Decem 26, 1670. ?

276 CORRESPONDENCE OF 


After dinner, as we were standing and talking together in the room, 
says my Lord Newborough to the other Scotch gentleman, who was 
looking very steadfastly upon my wife, “ What is the matter, that thou 
hast had thine eyes fixed upon my Lady Cornbury’ ever since she came 
into the room? Is she not a fine woman? Why dost thou not speak ?— 
“She’s a handsome Lady, indeed,” said the gentleman, “but I see her in 
blood.” Whereupon my Lord Newborough laughed at him; and all the 
company going out of the room, we parted; and I believe none of us 
thought more of the matter; I am sure I did not, My wife was at that 
time perfectly well in health, and looked as well as ever she did in her 
life. In the beginning of the next month she fell ill of the small-pox; 
she was always very apprehensive of that disease, and used to say, if 
she ever had it, she would dye of it. Upon the ninth day after the 
small-pox appeared, in the morning, she bled at the nose, which quickly 
stopt; but in the afternoon the blood burst out again with great vio- 
lence at her nose and mouth, and about eleyen of the clock that night 
she dyed, almost weltering in her blood. 

This is the best account I can now give of this matter, which tho’ I 
regarded not at the time the words were spoken, yet upon reflection 
afterwards, I could not but think it odd, if not wonderfull, that a man 
only looking upon a woman, whom he had never seen before, should give 
such a prognostick. The great grief I was then in, and going quickly 
after out of towne, prevented my being so inquisitive as I should have 
been after the person of this Scotch gentleman, and into other things. 
You will not wonder that, after soe long a distance of time, I cannot 
give a more particular account of a thing which seems soe very extra- 
ordinary. But I have kept you too long upon soe imperfect a subject, 
and will conclude with assuring you that I am, with great esteem, 

Sir, your most affectionate and humble Servant, 
CLARENDON.

Sir—In a letter of your’s to Dr Charlett, I find you are pleased to 
speak kindly of me; and particularly of what account I have given of 
the eclipse lately seen at Oxford, which, by reason of a great mist, 
could not be seen at London. What account that was I have now for- 
got, as I quickly shall what I now write; and because you were desirous 
to see it, I send now a scheme of that observation. It is intended for 
the Philosophical Transactions, but, how soon it will be there inserted 
I know not; and do, therefore, in the mean time, send you the copy 
which Dr Gregory was pleased to give me. My daughter Blencowe, who,

with the Judge, her husband, made me a visit in their passage to Lon- 
don, tells me that knowing nothing of the eclipse before, but being then 
writing a letter about 9 o’clock, finding the light of the sun look some- 
what dim, she looked out to see what the matter was, and found it to 
be an eclipse. I asked her how the light appeared to her: the best ac- 
count she could give of it was, much like that in the evening a little 
before sunset. And I believe it to be a good account, and much as it 
appeared to us at Oxford; and more than that I know not why any body 
should expect. 

Of your queries to Mt Hudson,? I doubt he will be able to give you 
but a short account from old historians; I doubt scarce any better than 
that of Acts xxvii. I can partly guess, from a little experience I once 
had, in a short voyage, if I may so call it, from Stangate Hole to 
Westminster Bridge. I had one Sunday preached for Mr Gataker, at 
Redriff,* and lodged there at night. Next morning I walked with him 
over the fields to Lambeth, meaning there to cross the Thames to 
Westminster. He showed me in the passage diverse remains of the old 
channel, which had heretofore been made from Redriff to Lambeth, for 
diverting the Thames whilst London Bridge was building, all in a straight 
line or near it, but with great intervals, which had been long since filled 
up; those remains, which then appeared very visible, are, I suspect, all 
or most of them filled up before this time, for it is more than fifty 
years ago, and people in those marshes would be more fond of so much 
meadow grounds, than to let those lakes remain unfilled; and he told 
me of many other such remains which had been within his memory, but 
were then filled up; but thus much by the way. 

When we came to Stangate Hole,® over against Westminster Bridge, 
we took a boat, in a thick mist, intending for Westminster Bridge just 
across the water. When we had been at sea, for so I musi call it, three 
times as long as would have been sufficient for the voyage, we made land, 
and discovered a shore with flags and reeds, and found ourselves within 
a bow-shot of the place from whence we first launched. We then put

There had been a plan of building a bridge across the Thames near this place, 
in 1664, which is thus noticed in the Correspondence of the French Ambassador 
with Louis XIV. “‘ Sur ce qui avoit été proposé, de faire un pont devant Withall 
pour passer du coté de Faxail, la Ville s’y est opposé par des vives remon-

to sea again and when we had a second time spent about as much time, 
met another vessel just a-head of us; we hailed the boat and asked 
whither they were bound? they said to Westminster, in a course directly 
opposite to ours; and found upon discourse that we were going directly 
to London Bridge, and were as low as Whitehall, or further. I expos- 
tulated with our boatmen how it was possible they could so mistake, and 
thought they might at least know whether they rowed with or against 
tide: they told me, though if they were at anchor they could tell which 
way the stream ran, yet, being in motion, they could only know what 
strokes they made with their oars, but knew not what they made at 
each stroke, unless they could see the shore; nor was there any wind 
stirring whereby to direct their course. I told them, if they could now 
set their steerage right, I would be their steersman, to hold on the 
same course. It was now in winter; and in such cases, though little wind 
stirring, we might discern the motion of our own breath, and by observ- 
ing this I could see when we varied from the course designed, and accord- 
ingly directed them to row more to the right or left hand, as there was 
occasion; and by this steerage we came within the noise of the people 
at Westminster Bridge, and then made up to them. 

Now, if we had then been wandering for half an hour or more, 


in so short a passage as just across the Thames, we may well con-— 


jecture at what a pass those must be who, in the wide sea, without 
sight of land, had no help from sun, moon, or stars, to direct their 
course, when as yet the magnetic helps were not known. They must 
then be obliged to keep within sight of land, and littora legere, without 
pulling out to sea, unless in fair weather, when the sun or stars might 
guide them; and if by chance they were surprized at sea in dark 
weather, they must be perfectly at a loss, having little else to help them, 
excepting soundings, or remembering from what point the wind blew 
when the darkness began, guessing that it might continue to blow from 
the same quarter. What better information Mt Hudson may get you 
from ancient circumnavigations, I leave to him; and, having begged your 
pardon for the impertinences of a tedious letter, remain,

Honé Sir,—’Tis with no small pleasure that I am at length come to 
date from this renowned city; nor will it, I am persuaded, be an un- 
welcome circumstance to you. We made our entry here on Tuesday 
last, about 23 o’clock, and were soon afterwards deafened with the 
jangling of all the bells of the town, which, for several days, morning 


a 


SAMUEL PEPYS 279 


and evening, had proclaimed the approach of the holy year. Our first 
yisit was, as you may imagine, to St Peter’s, to see the preparations 
for this great solemnity, where we found them busy in building the 
scaffolds about the Porta Santa, which is a lesser door on the right hand 
entering within the Portico. The Portico runs the whole length of the 
Facciata, and is about twice the breadth of that before Covent Garden 
Church: without it, nothing of the opening of the door could be seen, 
nor within it, much further than the middle door, which afforded but 
little space for scaffolds; part whereof was destined for the Queen of 
Poland and her suite, part for the Ambassadors, and part for the Ladies, 
Roman and Foreign; and a separate one, the most remote, for the gentle- 
men strangers, where not above 100, I am sure, could see well. The 
seats for the Cardinals and Bishops, &c., assisting were on the area, 
where, also, were a good number of persons of the first quality to be 
admitted. But, with all this, I entertained but very little hopes of seeing 
what I was come so far for, till encouraged by Father Mansfield, Doctor 
of the College of English Jesuits here, to whom I was recommended by 
my Lady Throgmorton’ and Sir D. Authur, he haying an interest with 
the 2 prelates appointed for the placing of strangers; by which means, 
in short, and force of crowding, Mt Martin and I have had the good 
fortune to see all the minutest parts of this most solemn ceremony, 
the whole process of which falling under my notice was this:— 

The morning, being yesterday the 24th, was ushered in with the 
jangling of bells I have mentioned: soldiers, like those of our Trained 
Band, were placed in different quarters of the town, to prevent disorders, 
and chiefly in the Piazza of St Peter’s, where were the Swiss Halberdiers, 
in red and yellow, and a troop of horse, in armour, drawn up. About 
16 o’clock we got into our places, and about 23 began the procession 
from the Vatican, through the Corridore into the Piazza, and so into the 
Portico, drums beating, &c., all the while. First came the Choristers 
and officiating Priests, with tapers in their hands, singing; then the 
Bishops; and last of all, the Cardinals in their Pontificalibus; the 
Cardinal de Bouillon, appointed by the Pope? to perform this office 
in his stead, by reason of his extreme illness, closing the whole, and being 
distinguished from the rest by a mitre of rich gold stuff, the others 
being of white demask. After a short office, with some singing, neither 
of which could be well distinguished, the Cardinal advanced to the Holy 
Door, the guns of Castell St Angelo were discharged, and he knocked 
thrice with a silver hammer on a small cross of brass, fixed in the 
mortar of the door, pausing a few minutes between each stroke, while 
some words were repeated. Having given the last stroke, he retired a 
little, and down fell the door, which made no small dust, being of brick,

plastered on both sides, and kept together by a frame of wood round, 
and supported on the inside with props, which, being taken away, it 
fell into a case set to receive it, for its more ready removal: the Cardinals, 
&c., entering afterwards to sing vespers, and the people, by degrees, 
following in most astonishing crowds. There was a throne, with six 
palls, prepared for the Pope, of crimson velvet, close by the door; 
but, he not being there, no use was made of it, The scaffold was 
hung with tapestry and crimson damask, with stripes of golden galoon, 
as are also the pilasters of St Peter's and some other of the churches 
of the city. 

In the mean time, other of the Cardinals, &., in cavaleade, went 
to the Campidoglio, and there divided, to go to the other churches, 
to open each of their Holy Gates also; but of this I saw nothing, 
The chief English here were my Lord Exeter and Lady,’ Lord Moun- 
thermer Mr Cecil, Mt Bruce, &c., my Lady Salisbury* being prevented 
by the small-pox breaking out that very morning, of which she is said 
to be dangerously ill, I afterwards saw the Cardinal’s supper in 
the Vatican Palace, which, both for form and substance, was very 
singular; and from hence went to the midnight devotions at St Lorenzo, 
where I heard most ravishing music suited to the occasion; Paluccio, 
an admired young performer, singing, and Corelli, the famous violin, 
playing, in concert with above 30 more, all at the charge of Cardinal 
Ottoboni, who assisted. The crowd still continues at St Peter’s so 
great, with pilgrims going in at the Holy Gate upon their knees, that 
I have not yet been able to make my way through it; but I have 
got a piece of the ruins of it, which will serve, in the mean time, 
to support my devotion. *Tis very uncertain what the Pope’s condition 
is at present; at the time of the ceremony yesterday, we overheard some 
of the English Jesuits telling others, as a secret, that he certainly died 
the day before, about 23 o’clock, but I much doubt the truth of it; 
he is, at least, extremely ill, and could not do a greater service to 
strangers than to drop off at this juncture, complete the show by a 
Sede Vacante, to which, some say, a canonization would be added this 


holy year. 
I must beg you to be assured of my husbanding both my time and 
expence. Your most dutiful Nephew,

Your friends are all well here, myself in particular. I was lately 
very much surprised with a visit from my cousin, Roger Gale, upon an 
unexpected call home, post from Paris, from his father, without the 
least intimation of the ground of it, nor direction, since his coming, 
what he is next to do, to the no little discomposure, I discern, of his 
son, which I am greatly sorry for. I find the gentlemen of both 
Universitys equally amused upon our friend Dr Bentley’s promotion 
to Trinity College Mastership; and of them, few more so than our friend 
at York. I have nothing to add, but to recommend it to you not to 
forget a copy, if it be got, or at least an accurate perusal, of Henry 
VIIL.’s letters, to enable you to rectify the mistakes, or clear the doubts, 
which I hope you will remember occurred to us upon reading copies 

thereof. S. P.

any of the ceremonies of the present Jubilee, or any former Ecclesiastic 
Shows or views of St. Peter’s, or aught else thet is curious, beyond 
what you know I am already master of, I leave it to you to buy for 
me. : S.P.

the King’s Serjeant Surgeon, long since dead, and his family dispersed.

Nephew—Believing that, after so long silence as this, since my last 
to you of the 11th of March, it would be of no less satisfaction to you, 
than, I bless God! it is to me, to be able to give you, under my own 
hand, the occasion of that silence, and this welcome account of its re- 
moval; nevertheless, I have chosen to make use of Mr Lorrains for what 
follows, which is to acquaint you, that it has been my calamity, for much 
the greatest part of this time, to have been kept bed-rid, under an evil 
so rarely known, as to have had it matter of universal surprise, and with 
little less general opinion of its dangerousness; namely, that the cicatrice 
of a wound occasioned upon my cutting for the stone, without hearing 
any thing of it in all this time, should, after more than 40 years perfect 
cure, all of a sudden, without any known occasion given for it, break 
out again, and call for an operation for its cure, by requiring the wound 
that has been so long asleep to be anew laid open, and rehealed, which it 
has been; and, after that, a second time: but both successfully: I being, 
I thank God! once more on my legs; and, though my long lying in 
bed will cost me some time for the removal of my weakness, I am 
in no doubt of recovery. Though the pain and trouble occasioned by 
this evil have been very great, yet my Chirurgeon, Mt Charles Bernard, 
a man of fame in his profession, never expressing the least doubt of 
my cure, and not having in the whole time suffered one quarter of an 
hour’s sickness of stomach or elsewhere, I have not thought it of any 
use to interrupt you, and the business you are upon, with any imperfect 
tydings thereof, till now that I can report it to you as a thing past. 


April 12, 1700. 


I go on with my borrowed hand, to tell you that, I thank God! I 
not only continue, but improve in the recovery of my strength, which 
my necessary confinement, night and day, with my legs tied, in bed, 
had unavoidably sunk in a great degree, but without other prejudice to 


SAMUEL PEPYS 283 


my general health. I am equally delighted with all I gather from your 
letters, relating to your health; your thoughtfulness all along in making 
the most of your time every where, for the answering every laudable 
end of your travels; the succinct account you give me of your em- 
ployment and observations, your care of the commissions you stand 
charged with, and the memory you carry of the measure as well as the 
fruit of your expense. I pray God to continue you in his good keeping, 
so that, at the close of your voyage, you may find cause to thank your- 
self for the benefits which this your conduct may reasonably entitle 
you to! 

You want, I see, some news; therefore let me be your postman, and 
tell you that the State has been for some time under no small con- 
vulsion in Parliament, where the Ministers have been, most of them, 
by turns roughly handled: as one instance, the King has been but two 
days addressed to, from the Commons, that no person, principally aimed 
at the Dutch Lords, not born in his dominions, should be admitted to 
his Council, either in England or Ireland; and yesterday he prorogued 
the Parliament to the 25th of next month, after having been contented to 
pass several Bills, which very few could persuade themselves he ever 
would have done, and particularly a Bill of Resumption to the public 
of all the forfeited estates by the late rebellion in Ireland, which he 
had actually distributed to an invidious value among a small number 
of persons he favoured, such as my Lords Portland, Galloway, Romney, 
Athlone, &c., and in particular Mrs Villiers, to whose share the late 
King’s private estate is fallen, valued at about 300,000/., or 25,0001. pr an. 

The old East India Company have, to the joy of all our nearest 
friends, obtained their great point against the new, by having got 
their Bill passed beyond all expectation, this Parliament confirming 
them in being a separate Corporation. I shall here add another Bill, 
by which the Parliament, upon what new provocations or considerations 
I know not, has proceeded to a greater degree of severity against our 
Roman Catholics than their predecessors have ever done, by condemning 
all of them, who, being bred up in that profession, do not publicly and 
solemnly renounce it, and take upon them the Protestant Religion, at or 
before the age of 18, to forfeit their whole inheritance, be it never so 
great, and transferring the right thereof, ipso facto, to the next a-kin; 
which, they say, do more than justify all the King of France does against 
his Protestant subjects. Another thing, indeed, there is, that looks some- 
what a mitigation of our present laws, by repealing so much thereof 
as subjected to death every Romish Priest found among us, by condemn- 
ing them now to perpetual imprisonment only; but this also that party 
take to be much worse than what they were before exposed to, because 
se seldom found, by the tenderness of our Juries, exacted from them. 
One thing more makes much talk here; the Duke of Norfolk having ob-

Hond Sir—We have had a particular audience of his Holiness at 
Monte Cavallo, headed by the Rector of the Scotch College, who 
harangued him on our behalf. He was in a very small room, in an 
armed chair, behind a table, under which came his feet, but only his 
right toe just appearing under his robe, his slipper of crimson velvet, 
with a gold cross embroidered upon if, which we that would, kissed on 
our knees, and, in-return, had indulgences granted ourselves and our 
friends for 1000 years. He was very pale, and seemed much spent, his 
head reclining a little, but his voice strong enough: he answered to our 
Father, “Non meritiamo questo.” The ceremony was soon over, and we 
returned, but not as we had entered, upon our knees, on which we 
also received his formal benediction. If next Saturday bring me 
nothing from you, I shall think my 15 days’ journey to Venice above

Besides an account of the Author, if known, of his MS. Life of Mary 
Queen of Scots, I very much desire to know whether there be any 
valuable matters relating to the History of Scotland amongst Sir R. 
Maitland’s' Collection of Scottish Poems? I observe that, in the same 
volume with Balfour’s Pratique, or Reports, as we call them, he has 
a MS. of the old Sea Laws of Scotland; I would beg to be informed, 
whether this last Treatise is the same with the Leges Portuwum, which, 
though quoted by Sir John Skene under that Latin title, is written in 
the Scottish language, and is only a list of the customs of goods im- 
ported and exported. If I may, through your kind intercession, have 
the favour of transcribing anything to my purpose out of his library, 
I have a young kinsman, clerk to Mt Musgrave of the Tower, who will 
wait on him to that purpose.” 

This, Sir, is Mt Archdeacon’s request, which I should, indeed, have 
communicated to you when I was lately to kiss your hands; but so 
was I transported with seeing you in so hopeful and fair a way of 
recovery, as it quite put this and all other things out of my thoughts. 
I am now, God willing, going about the middle of next week for a 
summer’s residence at’ Wotton,? where I have enough to do with a de- 
cayed and ruinous dwelling, but where yet my friends, or at least their 
letters, will find me: and if I suspend my answer to Mr Nicholson till 
you are at perfect leisure to enable me what to write, without giving 
you the least disturbance, I am sure he will be highly satisfied.

I hope your being thus long at Clapham, for I think you were never 
so long in the country before, since you knew the world, will make you 
relish the pleasure of a garden, which will be no burthen to your 
other perfections. As to your inquiry concerning the Second Sight, 
and of what happened to me in reference to my first wife upon that 
occasion, I will tell the story to yourself when I see you, and in the 
mean time to Dr Smith: and if either of you think it worth notice, 
I will put it into writing as exactly as I can. I suppose it will be no 
news to tell you of my Lord Shrewsbury’s once more quitting his em- 
ployment at Court, and that the Lord Chamberlain’s place is conferred 
on my Lord Jersey. Who will be Secretary of State in his room is 
not yet determined: my Lord Lexington and Mr Hill of the Treasury, 
are both spoken of; but it is said that office will not be filled till the King 
returns from Holland, so that Mr Secretary Vernon will be sole Secre- 
tary for some time; and some are of opinion that, after the King re- 
turns, Mr Blathwayt! may be the man: but all this is only imagination; 
perhaps after all, this office may be disposed of before the King goes.

and I wish I could bring him quite hither to see you, as I know he 
much desires. 

As to the picture you so often mention, and this letter takes notice 
of, it is possible the person whom you design for the painter may, 
once in a quarter of a long vacation, have leisure and inclination 
to visit Oxford, especially on so public an occasion, that would redound 
much to his honor and fame, and take up so little time. I am going 
to meet Dr Radcliff in the City at Dinner at Mr. Hartwell’s, being first 
to visit the East India rarities, where we shall be sure to remember you. 

The Duke of Bedford* died on Saturday night, having been in his 
garden that morning. Dr Radcliff was prevailed with to visit him: 
when he came, a vomit was prepared for the Duke; the Dr said, he 
knew what would kill him, but not what would save him, so the vomit 
was hindered. The Dr advised blisters, as the only expedient to prolong 
his life a few days; but that being neglected, the hydropic humours, 
as the Dr foretold, upon the first return on his vitals of the stomach, 
or head, killed him in a moment.

and communicating the contents to him, he said, that for the further 
encouragement of Sir Godfrey Kneller, he would be willing to be at 
the charges of having his father’s, his own, his son, and two daughters, 
viz., five heads in one piece, as the Dean of Christ Church should 
direct. I am just now informed that Sir Godfrey Kneller has drawn 
our Chancellor, the Duke of Ormond, at full length, which the Duke has 
some thoughts of bringing down himself; and it is very probable Sir 
Godfrey may come with His Grace, he having done so only for his 
pleasure twice or thrice within these three years. I must also add, that 
Dr Wallis was a little out of order last night, though I fear we shall 
have much ado to hinder him this morning from Church, the Earl 
of Rochester being also to be there, to whom I then read your most 
obliging inclinations. He seemed, to say the truth, very fond and 
pleased with the thoughts of having his picture presented to the 
University by your hands; Mr Pepys and the late Lord Charles Somerset 
being the two persons most in his honor and estimation. I will not be 
positive, but am apt to believe that Sir Godfrey Kneller may have 
more business, if he pleases; and the last time he was with me he seemed 
desirous to have some of his Art visible in the Gallery. He is Doctor 
of Laws with us. It is possible a decent application to Dr Radcliffe 
might persuade him to give the picture of King Alfred, the founder 
of his old College, Dr Aldrich having long since designed a head for 
him. I am very much in arrears to you for a thousand civilities, which

myself in what concerns the service you are pleased to employ me in 
here; and this, that I may not presume upon giving you too much 
trouble, I shall thus do in few words. 

Your Honour required to know how far I was advanced in the 
transcribing of the Appendix I am now at work upon, and I gave an 
answer accordingly. But I find, by your Honour’s expecting a further 
progress, that you did not take notice that much time has been spent 
by me in perusing, improving, and preparing for a fair transcription 
not only the several chapters of this Appendix already written, but 
those that yet remain unwritten fair; among which that also of Tailles 
Douces has been under my consideration and adjustment, though it has 
taken up the least of my time, because I meant no great alteration or 
variation in it. But many of the others have cost me much applica- 
tion and labour; as I doubt not but when the work is once finished, and 
comes under your Honour’s examination, you will find it to be so: and

Hond Sir—I have been very long in debt to you for a most obliging 
letter, which I now only acknowledge, without pretending to payment, 
by the hands of my good friend Mr. Tanner,’ who is now leaving us, 
being nominated by my Lord Bishop of Norwich Chancellor of his 
diocese. Before this preferment was known, he had the satisfaction 
to see the respects of the University, by an offer made to him from 
the best and most considerable part of the University, of the office of 
Public Registrar, a place of great trust and credit, as Mt Hudson has 
the custody of the Bodleian Library upon the resignation of Dr 
Hyde. 

I am sure this news will be acceptable to so great a lover of the 
public good, not only for your personal affection, but for the pleasure 
you take in seeing so generous and public a spirit prevailing here to 
postpone private interests in favour of eminent worth and abilities. 
Mr Tanner can best tell how very sensible I am of the numerous long 
train of civilities I receive from Mt Pepys, and with what respect and 
delight Dr Wallis, Dt Gregory, and several others unknown to you, 
acknowledge your patronage and affection to the Universities; which 
will be ever too hard for their enemies, as long as they can preserve 
their credit with such judges as yourself, though herein I am sure you 
show more of the friend altogether, in pardoning the addresses of,

thronged, that his Mat’ was scarce able to make his way through, hav- 
ing, according to the Spanish manner, no guards before his coach, but 
only Magistrates with their white wands. He designed to have mounted 
on horseback at some distance from the town, as was generally ex- 
pected, but seeing the crowd and dust he had to encounter with, 
very prudently waved it, though to the disappointment of abundance 


that perhaps would have staid at home; and particularly the ladies, 


who were yery numerous, and the richest in clothes and jewels I ever 
saw. As a sad proof of the multitudes I speak of, no less than 40 
men, women, and children, were trod under foot and killed outright, 
and above 100 are now said to be languishing under their bruises, and 
dying daily. Diverse of the dead, I saw, myself, lying heads and tails 
in a little neighbouring Chapel, where they were put till known and 
carried away; among the rest were a Friar and a priest. I believe the 
like accident has not been heard of, nor would it cost so many lives 
to take the very town of Madrid. 

The occasion is somewhat differently told, but the most received 
account is this: That the officers of the Customs, suspecting the people 
to take adyantage of this confusion for running of goods so soon as 
the king was entered, shut the gates upon them; and afterwards open- 
ing them again on a sudden, the foremost fell, and upon them the 
next, and so on, to the number I have mentioned at least, and were 
immediately smothered without redress. Certain it is, that the mob 
had this notion of it; for the same evening they came and plundered 
the Guards’ Lodge, burnt all their Registers before their door, and then 
set fire to the house itself; but it went no further than the smoking 
the walls a little, and damaging a window. The next morning, also, 
they assembled again, and we were apprehensive of the consequences, 
‘but by noon they drew quietly off without doing more: and now, 
for their satisfaction, I am told the Guardas have been put in prison, 
and the King has granted pensions to those poor families who suffered 
by this disaster. His Maty went directly to the Atocha’ to sing Te Deum, 
and thence to his Palace of the Retiro, where in the evening he was en- 
tertained with fireworks, prepared in the outermost court for the oc- 
easion, and performed at least as well as ours upon the Peace. The 
rockets, and other smaller fires, were in abundance, and the principal 
part which concluded the whole, was an engagement between a Casile 
and 4 Men-of-War, which were contrived to move, and though they 
played their parts very well, were at last overcome. At the same 
time there were also illuminations quite through the town, and these 
continued 3 nights together.

freely, and laid aside their gravity. They were generally pleased with 
the person of the King, at first sight; but, upon putting on the golilla, 
with his whole Court, on Sunday last, he has entirely won their hearts: 
he hunts and shoots every day, and by this means, and a free admis- 
sion to his Court, is already become very well known to his people. 
What is to be excepted against in his entry is, their coming in no 
parade or order: His Maty in a filthy old coach of the late King’s, with- 
out guards; his better sort of attendants, some on horseback, and 
some in coaches, at half-an-hour’s distance from one another; and 
diverse of the inferior sort attending the baggage, in so very ragged 
clothes as exposed them extremely to the scorn of the Spaniards. But 
this, indeed, was not the entry we have all along talked of; that 
will not be till after Lent, and some say till May, for which triumphal 
arches are preparing, and bulls feeding, with other things, which our 
friends would make us believe are worth staying for; but I cannot— 
at least, if you should think them so, might return from Lisbon in time 
enough to see them. I had been gone from hence ere this, had my 
companion used the same diligence with myself, and I fear it will be 
Sunday before we set out for Seville. The change of Ministers here 
I shall not trouble you with, you not being acquainted with the names 
on either side. The Cardinal is the Do-all. The Spaniards expect war, 
and wait only for some notice of the countenance of our new Parlia-

I forecasted my business so, that I dined to-day with Mr. Isted at 
Mr. Pepys’s, who entertained us with that obliging kindness which en- 
gages all that he converses with into a love and respect for his person, 
which time that destroys other things, does digest into a habit, and 
renders it so perfect that it generally lasts as long as a man’s life. 
Of this there has been many examples; several of Mr. Pepys’s friends 
continuing so, notwithstanding all accidents, till death; and the rest © 
are likely to do the same. This I attribute to his judgment in men 


and things, in placing his friendships, and showing his countenance 2 


on those only whose merit gave them some pretensions thereunto. 
Among these Mr. Isted is always distinguished so.

Sir—You have been pleased to put an honour upon me which I could 
not deserve, nor did expect—to send so worthy an artist as Sir Godfrey 
Kneller, from London to Oxford, to take my picture at length, and put 
the charge of it to your own account; I wish it may be to your con- 
tent. It had been more agreeable to my circumstances, if you had 
commanded my attendance to wait on you at London; which I should 
have readily obeyed, if my age would permit it. Till I was past four- 
score years of age, I could pretty well bear up under the weight of 
these years; but, since that time, it hath been too late to dissemble 
my being an old man. My sight, my hearing, my strength, are not 
as they were wont to be. Then I have no cause to complain of God’s 
providence, through whose goodness I do yet enjoy as much of ease 
and health as I can reasonably expect at these years; and, though you, 
and some other friends, are pleased to think me not quite unserviceable, 
yet I must not so far flatter myself as not to think but that it doth 
better become me to conceal the infirmities of age, than to expose them. 
I have endeavoured to express to Sir Godfrey the sense I have of 
your undeserved favour, by treating him with the respect due to a 
person of his quality; and, if I have been therein defective, I desire it 
may be imputed to the absence of my daughter, who is my house- 
keeper, but chanced to be now out of town; whereby, I was obliged to 
depend on servants. I know not what to return for your great kindness,

Clapham, March 26, 1702. 


Sir—I know not how better to become even with you for the kind 
satisfaction you have been at the trouble of giving me, than by trying 
to give you the like, in reference to my late sending you the same ques- 
tion twice, that could not but look impertinent enough on my part to 
have asked you once; and pray take it as follows. 

I have long, with great pleasure, determined, and no less frequently 
declared it to my friend Dr. Charlett, upon providing as far as I could 
by your hand, towards immortalizing the memory of the person, for 
his fame can never die, of that great man, and my most honoured 
friend, Dr. Wallis, to be lodged as an humble present of mine, though ~ 
a Cambridge man, to my dear Aunt, the University of Oxford. Towards — 
this, I have been long consulting with Dr. Charlett, and not without — 
hopes of getting this Rev. Gentleman once more up to town; and since, — 
through his age, those hopes have sunk, I have flattered myself with 
others, namely, of being able, some time or other, in a Vacation, to pre- 
vail with my friend Sir Godfrey Kneller, to make a little country — 
excursion for me, and do it upon the place; with a design, indeed, of . 
waiting on you myself thither. But so it has fallen out that, by — 
an unexpected return of an old evil, the Stone, I have been ever — 
since under a continued incapacity, for these two years and more, 
of stirring out of doors, and at length was forced for life, as Dr. 
Charlett knows, to be brought hither where I still am, and am likely to 
be; but with some hopes given me by Mr. Hewer, and some other of 
our friends, the last year, of seeing you here: and so this matter has 
stood, till Dr. Wallis, by your own hand, gave me from Oxford a very 
first word of my having, as he words it, sent you down thither, and the 
work’s being done. Now, as much satisfied as I must again and again 
own I am, with the extraordinary instance of respect I have received 
from you in it, I submit it to you to judge of the reasonableness or 
unreasonableness of my surprise, at the manner of my friend’s proceed- 
ing with me therein, when I have told you, that Dr. Charlett did me 
the favour of a double visit here about the month of August last, with 
promise of a third, and bringing Dr. Aldrich with him, before his return 
to Oxford; which I greatly expected, in order to the considering of 
some way, under my present distance from town, how to supply it to

you in reference to this matter: instead of which, I have not only never 
heard one word of or from him to this day, but without the least 
mention, either of your name or any thing at all of the picture, at 
either of his fore-mentioned visits, you have been pleased to tell me, 
to my no small confusion, for I swear it still looks like a dream to me, 
of his message from me to you, and what you have been doing upon it; 
but pray take it along with you, that I say it is no unpleasing dream 
to me, but what I shall venture very hard, as soon as the weather shall 
favour it, to come by chair, and pay you my real thanks for.

Honoured Sir—Upon my return to London, on Sunday morning 
last, out of Huntingdonshire, where I had been to perform the last 
office of my function, as well as of friendship, to the excellently good 
Lady Cotton,? I met with the sorrowful news of the death of my learned 
friend, the Reverend Dr Gale,* but I cannot yet learn the particulars 
of this his last and fatal sickness. I doubt not but that his Sons 
will take all possible care of his papers, and especially of those which 
relate to the illustrating Camden’s Britannia, which he has formerly 
shown me, and publish in convenient time, to the honour of their 
Father’s memory, and to the advancing of learning; which, together 
with those learned books he himself published in his life-time, will 
render him more illustrious to posterity, than any monument, be it 
never so stately, for his quality and character, they can erect in York 
minster. 

About three weeks since, Sir R. Dutton* was struck with the dead- 
palsy on his left side: he has recovered the motion, tho’ not the use 
of his hand and foot: and we hope that, upon settled, fair, and warm, 
weather, he may be restored to his former vigour, if yet his great age, 
he being now upon the brink to complete fourscore, may be supposed to 
permit it.

302 CORRESPONDENCE OF 


The worser sort of Fanaticks, not to say the whole herd of them, 
begin to be dissatisfied with the new Queen, and pray for her conversion, 
as if she were of the religion of the King her father; and herein they 
are followed by the Scotch Presbyterians: and we have here others, too, 
of greater quality and interest, who are of no religion, and mere 
Republicans, apt enough to foment discontents and jealousys among 
the people; which, if not prevented, will render the Regal Government, 
for Monarchy admits of no difference or distinction of sex, very uneasy 
at home: and, without pretending to any insight into politics, but 
what common natural sagacity and foresight suggest to every consider- 
ing man, it is presumed, that to obviate such ill designs, necessity of 
State, which is Ratio ultima Regum, requiring it, there will be a speedy 
alteration made among the Lord Lieutenants, Deputy Lieutenants, 
Justices of Peace and Magistrates of Corporations, throughout all 
England. But this will depend upon the conduct of a wise Ministry, a 
regulated Council, well-chosen Officers, whether of Justice in West- 
minster Hall, or in the Army and Navy, and in other great places of 
trust: otherwise we poor men, who are likely to receive little or no 

benefit by the late change, cannot but fear, out of a principle of true 
‘love to our country, that some disorders and disturbances may be 
attempted, which may be of ill consequence to the peace and happiness 
of it. These are our melancholy reflections; but the more sanguine men 
of the complying Clergy of this Church, who glory that they have got a 
daughter of King James the Second on the Throne, whom they promised 
to defend against the pretended Prince of Wales, as if this, setting 
aside the last consideration, would atone for their horrible defection 
for these last thirteen years, set before their eyes the glories and 
felicities of Queen Elizabeth’s long reign, as if it were in all things to be 
the just and perfect model of the present. To bring others, who have. 
hitherto preserved their faith and their principles entire and inviolate, 
into the same condemnation with themselves, they are propagating 
scandalous, lying, villainous stories, and reflections upon the honour, 
virtue, and innocence of King James and his Queen, in order to make 
several non-jurors believe that the Prince of Wales, the abjuring of 
whom is with them the great difficulty they cannot so easily and readily 
get over, is not their Son, but a counterfeit and mere supposititious 
child. And this is done especially by one of the Episcopal Order, who 
is outrageously, as after his demure way, to tell such as consult him 
that, upon his salvation, he believes the whole transaction of that affai 
to be mere juggle and imposture. But when I shall acquaint you at 
large with the weakness and falseness of his pretended proofs and allega- 
tions, grounded on hearsay, and stories horribly perverted, not onl 
against the truth of fact which was so notorious, and so well attest 
by persons of untainted and unquestionable honour and honesty, them

wonder how a man of his learning, great age, and gravity, can be so

I protest I have been afraid to write to you, Sir, this twelve-month, 
thinking it more proper for discourse than letter; for I can assure you 
I was equally ignorant and surprised at the conduct of Sir G. Kneller, 
when I understood, at my return from London, that Sir Godfrey had 
been at Oxford to draw the picture, having said no more to him than, 
in general words, that you wished such a thing. However, I am very 
glad it is so admirably done, tho’ I doubt not, besides the point of 
good manners, your judgment might have added to the beauty of the 
contrivance. But the Painter’s fancy was warm, and his imaginations 
not to be controuled, it seems, with delays. I was informed that it was 
drawn in Dr Gregory’s house, where both the Dean and he were present 
the whole time of action: but I have not had the pleasure of seeing it 
yet. I find Dr Hudson has provided a very proper place in the 
Gallery, next to Sir Harry Savile, the Founder of the Mathematic

Worthy Sir—If I had not been before acquainted with your gen-

what should move you to do me the honour, and put yourself to so great 
a charge on that account: but great men will do great things, and show 
great expressions of their kindness to those whom they are pleased to 
favour, a great deal beyond what they can pretend to merit. I did 
not see the persons who, by your order, did accompany the picture; 
otherwise I ought by them to have returned my thankful acknowledg- 
ment of the honour done me, in placing so noble a picture of me in so 
eminent a place. I trust Master Vice-Chancellor did, by them, return 
you the thanks of the University for that noble present; which I hope 
they will be careful long to preserve, as a lasting memorial of your 
munificence, and of the great skill of Sir Godfrey Kneller, which is 
highly commended, when I shall be forgotten. The great care you 
took that the University should not be suffered, on this occasion, to 
be at one penny charge, is a piece of civility so like yourself, that it.

Lord Guildford’s, at Wroxton, near Banbury, Sept. 26, 1702. 


Most Honoured Sir—I had the honour of both your letters together, 
at my Lord Digby’s, at Colsil,* having sent for my Oxford pacquet to 
Coventry, whither the carrier by appointment had brought them. It 
was a very sensible satisfaction to me, that the obscurity of Sir God- 
frey Kneller’s proceedings were unveiled, which to me were all shadow, 
and natural cause of umbrage. Your extraordinary care, and conduct, 
and judgment, and civility, in all the method and circumstances of 
placing it in the Bodleian Gallery, require a particular and distinct 
acknowledgment, and look like a Roman consecration of some of their 
ancent statutes. I am sure it has made a very pleasing journey, and 
most obliging entertainments, and conversations of two very good 
Lords, less agreeable, by detaining me from the sight of your picture 
so long; and will, I am sure, hasten my return to Oxford. By Dr 
Radcliffe’s prescription, I have been in a short course of riding, as the 
best remedy against rheumatism, the relapse of which I must fence 
against. I intended at first only a fortnight’s absence; but good 
weather, agreeable company, and no disaster with horses, is like to keep 
me out a little longer. I propose an hundred miles a week, which makes 
trayel so easy, as to cross a sentence of Lord Burghley’s, who, I 
suppose, was no traveller, often quoted by Dr Wallis, that he seldom 
knew either man or horse the better for travel. I have been through 
the Counties of Gloucester, Worcester, Stafford, and Warwick; Eclesal 
Castle, and Newport in Shropshire, were the two most remote northern 
points; a very small temptation would have carried me thence again to 
Chatsworth in the Peak, notwithstanding I had the year before made a 
particular progress thither; but as it was then too early to see the cas- 
cades and water-works play, so I was apprehensive it might now be too 
late; but if Mr Isted had been with me, I should have adventured. 

As I passed from Wolverhampton, good fortune, more than design, 
made me acquainted that I was near the scene of King Charles the 
Second’s escape, which soon determined me to take a guide to those 
woods, where I found at Boscobel House, some of the Pendrils remain- 
ing, that were present at that glorious transaction. It is no small 
offence and scandal to the neighbourhood, and, indeed, to the lovers 
of loyalty, fidelity, and integrity, to hear the complaints of these plain 
people, of their pensions beng stopt in the last reign, which also will be 
_ mo small rebuke to the late administrators. I remember King James, 
during whose reign the pensions were most exactly paid, viewed it in 
his progress, which gave you an opportunity of a nice view. The 
trunk of the Royal Oak is now enclosed within a round wall, with an 
inscription, which having no date, I cannot tell whether you have 
seen it; however, I have transcribed it for Mr Jackson.

The digging up of vast quantities of firs mentioned by our friend 
Dr Plot, in his History of Staffordshire, seems to me most strange and 
wonderful. In passing from Newport by the great Mears of Fordon and 
Aquilat, belonging to the Skrymshires, I saw the country people digging 
them up for fuel: they lie 1—2—3 feet deep: some are very long and 
entire. Also very large oaks are dug up, which sometimes are serviceable 
for laths. If you ask the country people how long they think they have 
lain there, their answer is, Ever since Nyal’s' Flood; which perhaps may 
be the best. 

I am now going to see the latter end of Astrop Wells, being allowed

Reverend Sir—What you call generosity would more truly bear the 
name of insolence; I mean, for a private man to take on him the doing 
that upon canvas, that, when time was, would have been long since made 
the business of the public, to have seen done in bronze or marble. So 
that what you thank me for, would indeed prove matter for mortifica- 
tion to any but you: though by the too kind reception I find it meets 
with from several of my friends about you, it seems to be otherwise 
thought of by them; namely, the Master, Dr. Hudson, Dr. Gregory, and 
more particularly by Mr. Vice-Chancellor, and what he bespeaks my 
further expecting from the University; while, at the same time, I cannot 
but think myself already overpaid, in the content you are pleased to 
own from it, and the honour I have secured to my own name by it,

had to value myself by, since my first relish of what was honourable. 
I must, therefore, come back to you, through whose hand it has been | 
conveyed to me, to learn how I am to proceed to the getting my thanks — 
properly laid before them, that I may not appear too far in arrear in 
my acknowledgements to them, where they are got so far before me in

habitations. In the mean while, one of the greatest consolations I am 
capable of, is the virtuous progress which my Grandson continues to 
make in an assiduous cultivation of the talents God has lent him. Hav- 
ing formerly seen his own country, as Bristol, Bath, Salisbury, and the 
little towns about Oxford, he went this summer with his Uncle Draper, 
as far as the Land’s End, which was an excursion of a month. The 
next progress, if God continue health, is designed to be Northward, as 
far as Newcastle: in the interim, he is perusing such authors and maps 
as may be assistant to the speculative part of these motions; and, to 
supply the present unfavourable period for travelling in foreign coun- 
tries, has learned the Italian tongue, and intends to proceed to the 
Spanish, having already the French from a child; whilst his inclinations 
more seriously lead him to History, Chronology, Mathematics, and the 
study of the Civil Law, which he joins with our Municipal Constitutions, 
without which he finds a country gentleman makes but a poor figure, 
and very useless. He not only keeps but greatly improves his Greek, by 
diligently reading their histories; and now and then, amongst other 
exercises, he turns some passages into Latin, translates select Epistles 
out of Cicero and Pliny, and letting them lye by some time, lest the 
impression of the style and phrase prepossess him, turns them into Latin 
again, the better to judge of his improvement. He has his time for 
his Agrestic Flute, in which, with his Tutor, Mt Bannister, they spend 
a@ morning’s hour together. He is likewise Mr Hales’s scholar, and goes 
to the Fencing School here; and when in the country takes as much 
pleasure with his handbill and pruning-knife about our grounds and 
gardens, as I should do if I were able. Sometimes, if weather and 
heighbours invite, he hunts with them; my worthy friend® Mr Finch 
using that diversion when he is in tolerable health; in sum, finding him 
so moderately and discreetly disposed, studious, and mindful of his 
own improvement, I give him free liberty, and I bless God! have never 
found any indulgence prejudice him. It is a great word when I assure 
you I never yet saw him in a passion, or do a fault for which he deserved 
reproof. And now you will no more believe half this, than I do of what 


314 CORRESPONDENCE OF 


Xenophon has written of his Cyrus; however, it entertains an old 
dotard, and as such I relate it. ‘ 

Now, as for myself—I cannot but let you know the ineredible satis- 
faction I have taken in reading my late Lord Clarendon’s History of 
the Rebellion, so well, and so unexpectedly well written—the preliminary 
so like that of the noble Polybius, leading us by the courts, avenues, 
and porches, into the fabric; the style masculine; the characters so just, 
and tempered without the least ingredient of passion or tincture of 
revenge, yet with such natural and lively touches as show his Lordship 
well knew not only the persons’ outsides, but their very interiors; 
whilst yet he treats the most obnoxious, who deserved the severest re- 
buke, with a becoming generosity and freedom, even where the ill 
conduct of those of the pretended loyal party, as well as of the most 
flagitious, might have justified the worst that could be said of their 
miscarriages and demerits: in sum, there runs through this noble piece 


a thread so even, and without breach or knot in the whole contexture, — 


with such choice and profitable instructions naturally emerging from the 
subject, as persons of the sublimest rank and office need not be ashamed 
to learn their duty, and how to govern themselves, and from the lapses 
and false politicks of others, how the greatest favourites and men in 


grace should be examples of modesty and temperance, unelated, easy, 


and accessible without abusing their power; whilst, being apt to forget 
themselves, and the slippery precipices they stand on, they too often 
study, not so much how to make their treading sure by the virtue of 
justice, moderation, and public spirit, as to raise themselves fortunes, 
and purchase titles and adorations, by flattering the worst and most 
destructive inclinations of Princes in the most servile compliances and 
basest offices. 


What I have written more in this style, and from my heart, to my — 


present Lord Clarendon, who sent me his father’s books, I wish you had 
seen, for I acknowledge myself so transported with all the parts of his 
excellent History, that, knowing as I did most of the persons then acting 
the tragedy, and those against it, I have no more to say, but much, very 
much to admire, not doubting but the rest which follows will be 
still matter of panegyric, and justify the highest epithets; and that, by 


the time he has done, there will need no history or account of what 


passed during the reign of that suffering and unfortunate Prince, to — 


give the w@ld a piece equal to anything extant, not only in our own j 


poorly furnished history of this, but of any nation about us. To con- 


clude: it required no little skill, prudence, and dexterity, to adventure so i 


near the truth without danger or just resentment of those who deserved 
so ill, as no reflections could have been severe enough. But I have done; — 
let what I have written to his Lordship speak the rest of my sentiments 
on this author and noble work. Thus, what I would wish for myself —

Sir.—I have not been unmindful of your commands, neither can I 
ever neglect what is enjoined me by so worthy a friend, but it re- 
quired some time to receive such an account of that matter as I might de- 
pend upon. After the strictest enquiry, I find none of our Clergy 
placed in your neighbourhood nearer than Mitcham, where lives one 
Mr Higden, a very ingenious person, who married the late Lord Stowel’s 
sister; but I believe you may have one with greater ease from London, 
by reason of the conveniency of public conveyances. Our friend, Dean 
Hickes, is at present at Oxford; but if you will be pleased, whenever 
your occasions require it, to send to Mr Spinckes, who has the honour of 
being known to you, he will be sure to wait upon you, and take such 
measures that you may alwaies be supplied, whenever you stand in 
need of such assistance. He lodges at a Glazier’s in Winchester Street, 
near London Wall. 

You will pardon me, Sir, if I take this occasion to acquaint you 
with a pious work which is now carrying on by the joint assistance 
of our Nobility and Gentry, as well as of the Bishops and Clergy. The 
States of Holland have consented that the Church of England worship 
should be established at Rotterdam; and that it may be performed 
with its due solemnity, there is a design encouraged of building a 
Church in that place, which by éstimate will cost 3500/.; 10007. of that 
sum must be buried to lay the foundation: it will be no surprise to you 
who are acquainted with that situation. The General Officers have con- 
tributed beyond expectation, military men having seldom any great 
zeal in such matters, and a great many of the Nobility and Gentry hay- 
ing taken this occasion to show their zeal for the Church. The Duke 
of Marlborough has given it his particular countenance, and the ex- 
pectation of 500/. from the Queen. I could not forbear laying this 
matter before you, whom God has blessed with such a plentiful fortune, 
which you know how to dispose of to the best advantage, and such as 
will turn you to good account at the great day; and withall I beg that 
Mt Hewer may be acquainted with this pious design, which will con-

tribute so much to God’s glory and the honour of the Church. I do

thinks fit to try you with the want of both, that you may find ‘the

Honoured Sir—I should have been not a little glad to hear by my 
Brother, that you had your health in a better measure than I now am 
sorry to find you have. It is no small pleasure to me to find you consult 
me in a matter which I have always wished to have an opportunity 
to set in a right light, and that the account I now send is to a person 
who had rather hear the truth than strange stories. You will easily 
believe there is not much of that in it, when I assure you that for 3 
months after my Father’s death,’ I never heard the least word of this 
apparition; but, upon my return to Cambridge, I was surprized to find 
the story in every body’s mouth. The whole was occasioned, as I found 
at my arrival hither, by one Mr Hawley, a Vicar of the Minster, a 
person never of any credit, and a great talker; and it was observed, im- 
mediately upon his broaching this story, that he had dined that day at 
my Lord Mayor's table, where there was always wine enough. This 
person, coming to Cambridge to take his Doctor’s degree, amongst 
other northern news, told.this story at the Vice-Chancellor’s table, where 
was company enough, and I find it every where spread. The truth of 7 
the matter is as follows:—Dr Stainforth, one of the Residentiaries of the 
Church, and whose stall is next but one to the Dean’s, coming that day 
a little later than usual to prayers, found his own place and the next 
filled up by some strangers, so that he was obliged to seat himself in 
the Dean’s. Mt Hawley read the second lesson, and, coming down from 
the reading-desk, which stands in the middle of the Choir, did really 
mistake him for the Dean, and as usual made him a bow. Dr Stain- 
forth was sensible of his mistake at the very time, and therefore aia 
not return it, the compliment not being due to him. Dr Stainforth went 
immediately after Church to a neighbouring coffee-house, and was fol. 
lowed by most of the Clergy, and this Mr Hawley, who there told this” 
fine story, and expressed his amazement at the Dean’s anger. But, 
upon the Doctor’s telling the occasion of his mistake, he was only 
laughed at. Dr Stainforth gave me the preceding account, and wondered

at Dr Hawley’s, as he now is, impudence in setting about such a 
falsity. “Iwas an easy mistake, the Dr being very much of my Father’s 
size and make, not very unlike in the face, being pretty fat, and the stall 
where he sat dark. So that all the strangeness of this matter is, that Dr 
Hawley should persist in his narration, knowing it to be false.

Another instance of the marvellous barbaric punishment of coating 
a door with human skin, possibly as a vindictive monition against sacri- 
lege, has lately been brought under my notice, in connexion with one of 
our most noted ecclesiastical monuments—namely, Westminster Abbey. 

Dart, in his History of the Abbey Church (vol. i. book ii., p. 64), re- 
lates the tradition then preserved in reference to a door, one of th 
which closed off a chamber from the south transept—namely, a certaim 
building once known as the Chapel of Henry VIII., and used as a 
“Revestry.” This chamber, he states, “is inclosed with three doors, 
the inner cancellated, the middle, which is very thick, lined with s 
like parchment, and driven full of nails. These skins, they by traditio 
tell us, were some skins of the Danes, tann’d and given here as a 
morial of our delivery from them. The doors are very strong, but 
were, notwithstanding, broken open lately, and the place robb’d.” Suc 
was Dart’s account in 1723. I was in pursuit of some existing vestig 
of these tanned relics of the Northman, of which, as yet, I can ob 


om ; 
ar. 


i APPENDIX 328 
no intelligence, when my attention was casually drawn by Mr. E. W. 
Cooke to the strange fact, that not far from the south transept a door 
still exists on which human skin is to be found. Mr. Quekett, of the Col- 
lege of Surgeons, to whose skill in such questions we were indebted for 
proof of the tradition at Hadstock and other places, submitted this 
skin to his microscope, and it proved to be human. I inspected the 
door in question last week, and found the skin had been on both sides, 
the existing remains being found under the massive iron work. It is 
a small door leading to a chamber, intended, apparently, for a treasury, 
situated on the south side of the passage, originally the approach from 
the cloisters to the chapter-house. Within this chamber there is a small 
depository, or cell, doubtless for safe custody, with a smaller strong 
closet within, all of good masonry, and constructed in a remarkable 
part of the buildings of the ancient monastery, being probably a portion 
of the structure raised in the times of the Confessor. The doorway, 
however, in which the stout oaken door which bore the skin is hung, 
and the strong chamber within, are of later date, possibly not older 
than the time of Abbot Litlington (about 1375). The oak door, how- 
ever, has been certainly removed to its present position from some 
other place, since it appears to have been partly cut to fit the door- 
ease. This, however, is not of recent adaptation, and I do not think 
it possible that it can have been the same door which Dart described, 
the position of which was not many yards distant. I imagine that 
when Litlington, who was a great builder, constructed the west side of 
the cloisters, and various works adjacent were carried out, this ancient 
door was remoyed from some other part of the buildings, and cut to fit 
the new door-case, the approach to a treasury, where the relics of the 
supposed Dane were preserved in memoriam et terrorem, I say Dane, 
but without evidence it must be admitted of any tradition as regards 
this particular oaken production of very primitive carpentry; still, taken 
in conjunction with the tradition preserved in regard to another door 
close by, that, namely, which led from the Abbey Church to the 
“ Revestry,” the fact which we owe to Mr. Cooke’s keen observation, may 
well claim attention in reference to the repeated traditions of savage 
punishment of the sacrilegious Northmen. I have recently understood 
that the doors at Rochester have been so entirely removed, that it is 
hopeless to seek for proof of the tradition recorded by Pepys.—A.zert

All researches after the plan of Lisbon, made for Lord Sandwich, had, 
until every lately, proved fruitless. A copy, however, has been dis- 
covered, during the passing of this volume through the press, by Mr. 
Carpenter, of the British Museum, at the country-house of a friend of 
his, and it has since been purchased for the print room of the Museum. 
The impression is one of those taken off on white satin, at Pepys’s sug- 
gestion, but the engraver is the well-known Dirk Stoop: the passage in 
the Diary probably should be read—“ It ought to have been better done 
than by jobbing.” The title agrees verbally with that given by Pepys, 
and the engraving contains not only Lord Sandwich’s arms, but also 
his portrait: he is represented as holding a measuring rod, which 
marks the scale of miles. In spite of Pepys’s opinion, it may be con- 
sidered a fine specimen of the artist’s skill: its rarity is very great: 
it is not mentioned in any list of Stoop’s works, nor was it known to 
collectors. Neither the Pepysian, nor the Royal, nor the Museum col- 
lections possessed it. Lord Sandwich probably made presents only of 
the impressions. 

Dirk Stoop, who came to England in the suite of Katharine of 
Braganza, in the capacity of Court Painter, designed and etched a series 
of plates, descriptive of the ceremonials and pageants which took place 
on her marriage. Each etching is 1 foot 10 inches by 7 inches. A 
complete set is very rare; the British Museum Collection, however, 
possesses them.

Walpole (or rather Vertue), who had seen only the first and sixth 
etching, mentions, after Basan, that there were eight pieces. The Plan 
of Lisbon, just mentioned, was probably supposed to belong to the 
series. Dirk Stoop also etched a large portrait of the Queen, the rarity 
of which is so great, that only two impressions are known: viz., one in 
the Pepysian Library, and one recently presented to the Print Room 
of the British Museum, by John Heywood Hawkins, Esg., of Bignor

The picture usually placed before the King’s book, which Pepys says 
he saw “put up in Bishopsgate church,” was not engraved for the 
Eikon Basilike, but relates to the frontispiece of the large folio Common 
Prayer Book of 1661, which consists of a sort of pattern altar-piece, 
which it was intended should generally be placed in the churches. The 
design is a sort of classical affair, derived in type from the ciborium of 
the ancient and continental churches; a composition of two Corinthian 
columns, engaged or disengaged, with a pediment. It occurs very fre- 
quently in the London churches, and may be occasionally remarked in 
country-town churches, especially those restored at the King’s coming 
in, Any one who has ever seen the great Prayer Book of 1661, will at 
once recognise the allusion; and it is a well-known fact that the frontis- 
piece was drawn and engraved for the purpose mentioned ahboye,”—

This ship was built at Woolwich Dock Yard, in 1637. Her tonnage 
corresponded with the year, and she was the first vessel built with 
“flushe decks,” and the largest up to that period belonging to the En- 
glish navy. Her keel measured 187 feet 9 inches; her main breadth 
48 feet 4 inches, and she had three decks, a poop and top gallant fore- 
castle. She was pierced for 126 guns. Her reputation has remained 
so great, that, in 1853, a fine American clipper, of 2421 tons, built by 
Mr. MeKay, of Boston, was named after her. This worthy successor 
arrived in the Mersey on July 9, 1853, having made the run from New 
York in a shorter time than was ever accomplished by a sailing ship,

Woolwich stones, still collected in that locality, are simply water- 
worn pebbles of flint, which, when broken with a hammer, exhibit on 
the smooth surface some resemblance to the human face; and their 
possessors are thus enabled to trace likenesses of friends, or eminent 
public characters. Mr. Tennant. the geologist. of the Strand, has a 
collection of such stones. In the British Museum is a nodule of 
globular or Egyptian jaspar, which, in its fracture, bears a striking re- 
semblance to the well-known portrait of Chaucer. It is engraved in 
Rymsdyk’s Museum Britannicum, tab. xxviii A flint, showing Mr. 
Pitt’s face, used once to be exhibited at the meetings of the Pitt Club.

LORD ROBERT DUDLEY TO THOMAS BLOUNT. ; 


Cosin Blount, 


Immediately upon your departinge from me, there came to me Bowes, 
by whom I do understande that my wife is dead, and, as he saithe, by a 
falle from a paire of stayres; little other understandinge can I have of 
him. The greatness and the suddennesse of the mysfortune doth so 
perplex me, untill I do heare from you how the matter standeth, or howe 
this evill doth light upon me, considering what the malicious world will 
bruyte, as I can take no rest. And, because I have no waie to purge 
myselfe of the malicious talke that I knowe the wicked worlde will use, 
but one, which is the verie plaine truth to be knowen, I do praye you, 
as you have loved me, and do tender me and my quietness, and as nowe 
my special truste is in you, that will use all devises and meanes you can 
possible for the learning of the truth, wherein have no respect to any 
living person; and, as by your own travell and diligence, so likewise by 
order of lawe, I mean by calling of the Coroner, and charging him to 
the uttermost from me to have good regard to make choyse of no light 
or slight persons, but the discreetest and substantial men, for the Juries; 
such as for their knowledge may be able to search honourablie and 
duelie, by all manner of examynacions, the bottom of the matter; and 
for their uprightness will earnestlie and sincearlie deale therein, without 
respect. And that the bodie be viewed and searched accordinglie by 
them, and in everie respect to proceed by order and lawe. In the mean 
tyme, Cosin Blount, let me be advertysed from you, by this berer, with 
all spede, howe the matter doth stande; for, as the cause and the man- 
ner thereof doth maryellously trouble me, considering my case many 
waies, so shall I not be at rest, till I may be ascertayned thereof: 
prayinge you ever, as my truste is in you, and as I have ever loved you, 
do not dissemble with me, neither let any thinge be hid from me, but 
send me your trewe conceyt and opinion of the matter; whether it 
happened by evill chance, or by villainye, and faill not to let me heare 
contynewallie from you. And thus fare you well, in moch haste from 
Windsore, this ixth of September, in the eveninge. 

Y= loving friend and kynsman, moch perplexed, ai 

I have sent for my brother Appleyarde,” because he is her brother, and 
other of her friendes also, to be theare, that they may be previe, and see 
how all things do proceede. 


_ 1Thomas Blount was of the Pee of that name, long seated at Sodington, 
in Worcestershire. His cousin, Sir Richard Blount, mentioned in p._ 340, was 
the son of Richard Blount of Mapledurham, who died in 1564, whilst Lieutenant

and explains Dudley’s designation of John Appleyard as “my brother,” he being 
born of the same mother as Lady Robert Dudley:—

' THOMAS BLOUNT TO LORD ROBERT DUDLEY. 


Maie it please yte Lordshipe to understande that I have receyved youre 
letter by Brys, the contents whereof I do well perceyue: and that 
yte Lordshipe was advertised by Bowes ymediatelie upon my depar- 
tinge, that my ladie was deade. And also yre straite charge geven unto 
me, that I should use all the devices and policies that I can for the 
trewe understanding of the matter; as well by myne owne travell, as 
by the order of lawe; as in callinge the Coroner; gevinge him charge 
that he chowse a discrete and substancial jurie; for the view of the 
bodie, and that no corrupcion should be used, or persons respected. 
Yre L. great reasons that maketh you so earnestlie searche to learne the 
trothe, the same with your earnest commandment, dothe make me to 
do my best herein. The present advertisement I can give to your LP at 
this tyme is, too trewe it is that my ladie is dead, and as it seamethe 
with a fall; but yet how or whiche waie I cannot learne. Yre LP shall 
heare the maner of my proceedings since I cam from you; the same 
nyghte I came from Windsore I laie at Abington all that nyght, and, 
because I was desirous to heare what newys went abrode in the Coun- 
trie, at my Supper I called for myne hoste, and asked him what newys 
was theare about, taking upon me I was going into Glocestershire; 
he saide, “theare was fallen a greate mysfortune within three or iiii 
myles of the Towne;” he saide, “my Lorde Robert Duddeley’s wyfe 
was deade;” and I axed how, and he saide, “by a mysfortune, as he 
heard, by a fall from a payre of stayres:’ I asked him by what chance? 
He saide, “he knewe not.” I asked him what was his judgment and 
the judgment of the people; he said, “some weare disposed to saie well 
and some evill.” What is your judgment, said 1? “By my trothe,” 
said he, “I judge it a mysfortune, because it chanced in that honest 
gentleman’s house; hys great honestie,” said he, “dothe moche curb 
the evill thoughts of the people.” Mythinkes, said I, that some of her 
people that wayted upon her, should somewhat saie to this. “No, Sir,” 
said he, “but little, for it was said that they were heare at the fayre, 
and none left with her.” How myght that chance? said I. Then said 
he, “It is saide heare that she rose that daie yerie earlie, and com- 
manded all her sorte to go to the fayre, and wold suffer none to tarrie

at home.” And thereof is moche judged, and trewlie, my Lorde, I did 
first learne of Bowes, as I met with him coming towards yre Lre of his 
owne beinge that daie; and of all the rest of them beinge, who affirmed 


* that she wold not that daie suffer one of her owne sorte to tarrie at 


home, and was so earnest to have them gone to the fayre, that with any 
of her owne sorte that made reason of tarrying at home, she was verie 
angrie, and cam to Mrs. Odingselle, the wedowe, that liueth with An- 
thony Fforster, who refused that daie to go to the fayre, and was verie 
angrie with her also, because she said it was no daie for gentlewomen 
to go in, but said the morrowe was moche better, and then wold she 
go; whereunto my ladie answered and saide, “She mighte chowse and 
go at her pleasure, but all hers shuld go;” and was verie angrie. They 
asked who shuld kepe her companye if they all went. She saide, 
Mrs Owen shuld kepe her companye at dyner. The same tale dothe 
Pinto, who dothe dearlie [love] her, confirm; certenly, my L4, as little 
while as I have bene here, I have hearde divers tales, that maketh me to 
judge her a strange woman of mynde. In askinge of Pinto what she 
might thinke of this matter, either chance or villany? she saide, “ By 
her faithe she doth judge it were verie chance, and neither done by man 
nor by herself. For herself,’ she said, “she was a good vertuous 
gentlewoman, and daily would praie upon her knees; and divers tymes 
she saith she hath heard her praie to God to deliver her from dispera- 
cionne.” Then said I, she myght have an evell eye in her mind. “No, 
good Mr. Blount,” said Pinto, “do not judge so of my wordes; if you 
shuld so gather, I am sorie I saide so much.” My Lord, it is 
most strange that this chance should fall upon you, as it passeth the 
judgment of any man to saie how it is; but then the tales I do heare 
of her make me to thinke she had a strange minde, as I will tell you 
at my cominge. But to the inquest you wuld have so verie circum- 
spectlie chosen by the Coroner for the understandinge of the truthe, 
yte Lordshipe nedethe not to doubt of their well chosinge. Before my 
cominge, the inquest were chosen, and part of them at the house; if I 
be able to judge of men and of their ableness, I judge them, and spe- 
ciallie some of them, to be as wise and as able men to be chosen on 
such a matter as anie men, beinge but Countrymen, as ever I saw, and 
as well able to answere for their doing before whomsoever they may be 
ealled, and for there trewe search without respect of persons. I have 
done youre message unto them, and I have good hope they will conceal 
no fault, if any be; for as they are wise, so are they, as I heare, part of 
them verie enemies to Anthony Fforster. God give them, in their 
wisdom, indifference, and then be they well chosen men. More adver- 
tisement at this tyme I cannot give your LP; but as I can lerne, so will 
TI advertise, wyshinge yt Lre to put away sorrow and rejoice, whatsoever 
fall out of your owne innocency, by the which, in time doubt not, that

THOMAS BLOUNT TO LORD ROBERT DUDLEY. 


I haue done yt Lordshep’s message vnto the iurye, you neede not to 
byde them to be carefull; whether equitie is the cause or mallice to 
Fforster to forbyd it, I knowe not. They take great paynes to learne 
the truth: to morrowe I will wayte upon yor L., and as I come I will 
brake my fast at Abington, and there I shall mete wth one or two of the 
iurye, and what I can I will bringe. They be verie secrete, and yet do 
I heare a whysperinge that they can find no presumpcions of eyill. 
And if I maie saie to yor L. my conscience, I think some of them be 
sorie for it, God forgive me! and yf I iudge amysse, myne own opi- 
nion is much quieted: the more I heare of it, the more free it doth 
appeare to me. I haue almost nothing that can make me so much to 
think that any man shuld be the doer thereof, as when I think yor L. 
Wife before all other women, shuld haue such a chance: the circum- 
stances and the many thinges wch I can learne doth prswade me that 
onelie mysfortune hath done it, and nothing els. Myself will wayte 
vpon yor L. tomorrow, and saie what I knowe. In the meane tyme, I

LORD ROBERT DUDLEY TO THOMAS BLOUNT.* 


I haue reseved a letter from one Smythe, one that seamethe to be 
forman of the iurye. I prseve by his letter that he and the rest hathe 
and do travill verie dilligentlie and circumspectlie for the tryall of that 
matter whiche they haue charge of; and for any thing I hear, that, by 
any serche or examynacone they can make in the world hitherto, it 
dothe plainlie appeare, he saithe, a verie mysfortune, whiche, for my 
owne parte, Cosin Blount, dothe much satisfie and quiet me. Never- 
theless, becaise of my thoroue quietnes and all others hereafter, my 
desire is that they may contynowe in their enquiory and examynacone 
to the vttermost, as longe as they lawfullie maie: yea, and when they

haue geven there verdyt, though it be never so plainlie found, 
assuredlie, I do wishe that another substantiall company of honest men 
mighte trye againe for the more knowledge of truthe. I haue also re- 
quested St Ric Blount, who is a prfite honest gentleman, to helpe to the 
furtherance thereof. I trust he be wth you, or with Mr. Norris likewise, 
and Appleyarde, I heare, hath bene there, as I appointed, and Arthure 
Robsart, her brothers; yf any more of her frendes had bene to be had, 
I would also haue caused them to haue sene and bene preyie to all the 
dealings there. Well. cosin! God’s will be done; and I wishe he had 
made me the porest [worm] that crepeth on the grounde, so this mys- 
chance had not happened to me. But, good cosin, according to my 
trust, have care above all things that there be playne, sencere, and 
direct dealing for the full tryall of this matter. Concerninge Smythe 
and the rest, I meane no more to deale wth them, but let them proseade, . 
in the name of God, accordinglie, and I am ryght glad they be all 
strangers to me. Thus fare you well, in much haste, from Windsor, 
Yre loving frend and kinsman, 
R. D. 


LORD ROBERT DUDLEY TO THOMAS BLOUNT. 


Cosin Blount:—Vntil I heare from you againe howe the matter fall- 
ethe out, in verie truthe I cannot be in quiet, and yet you do well 
satisfye me wth the discrete jurie you saie are chosen alreadie; vnto 
whom I praie you saie from me that I require them, as ever I shal 
think good of them, that they will, according to there duties, earnest- 
lie, carefullie, and trewlie, deale in this matter, to fynde it as they 
shall se it fall out. And if it fall out a chaunce or mysfortune, 
then so to fynde; and if it appeare villainye, (as God forbid so mys- 
chievous or wicked bodie shuld lyve!) then to fynde it so, and God 
willing, I shall never feare the daie of prosecution accordinglie, what 
person soever it maie appeare any waie to touche; as well as for the 
lust punyshment of the act, as for myne owne trewe iustification; for 
as I wold be sorie in my heart any such evill should be comytted, so 
full it will appeare to the worlde my innocensie, by my dealing in the 
matter, if it shall so fall out. And therefore, Cosin Blount, I seke 
chiefly truthe in that case, which I would you still to haue mynde vnto, 
wthout any faver to be shewed either wone waie or other. When you 
haue done my message to them, I require not to staie to search thorolie 
yo'self, alwaies that I may be satisfied. And that wth such convenient 
spede as you maie. Thus fare you well, in hast, at Kewe, this 27th of

chambre 4 la porte, qui le voiant avec son épée, nue, eut assez de 
foiblesse pour mettre ordre a sa vie par la fuite, et laisser celle de son 
maitre en danger. Il entra donc l’épée a la main, 4 valets présents, 
dont il y en avoit un qui avoit un épée, s’enfuirent. Le Duc se 
leva d’auprés de sa femme qu'il entretenoit auprés du feu, et luy de- 
manda ce qu’il souhaitoit dans l’état auquel il étoit. Il repondit, 
“C’est toy que je cherche, et a qui j’en veux.” A ces paroles, le Duc 
trouva un couteau sur la table, dont il se saisit, et se jeta sur le valet, 
avec assez, de bonne fortune pour luy déter son épée; et aprés l’avoir 
interrogé et l’avoir trouvé hors d’esprit et de bon sens, il vouloit se 
retirer auprés de la porte pour appeler quelques valets. Cependant le 
malheureux et méchant homme vouloit encore saisir de luy, et Poffenser 
avec un couteau qu’il avoit dans sa poche, et eut exécuté son dessein, 
sans le cry de la Duchesse qui fit retourner le Duc, qui alors luy donna 
quelques coups.? Voiez, Monsieur, ce que c’est que l’Angleterre! 
Quand je viens 4 faire réflexion que cette terre ne produit ni loups ni 
bétes venimeuses, je ne m’en étonne pas, les hommes y sont bien plus 
méchants et plus dangereux, et s’il falloit se garder de tout avec pré- 
caution, le meilleur seroit de l’abandonner.

Cavalrie du Roy, gria 4 diner le Général Monck, le grand Chambellan 
du Royaume, et quelques autres Conseillers d’Etat. A ce nombre se 
joignérent tous les jeunes gens de qualité. La débauche s’eschauffa a 
tel point que chacun y fut offenseur et offensé, l’on se gourma, l’on 
s’arracha les cheveux, et enfin deux de la troupe se battirent 4 coupe 
d@hybo. Mais heureusement cette escarmouche sépara la compagnie; 
chacun prit son parti selon son inclination, ceux qui s’en allérent avec 
le Général demandeérent a boire, on leur en donna, ils poussérent l’affaire 
jusques au soir, ce qui les obliga de demander a manager, estants 
eschauffez du matin et de l’aprés dinée, chacun résolut de porter son 
compagnon par terre. Le Général, qui a sans doute la téte plus forte, fit 
un coup de maitre, et leur présentant a chacun un hanap,* qui tenoit 
beaucoup, les uns l’avalérent, les autres ne purent, mais généralement 
tous demeurérent jusqu’au lendemain sans avoir conversation, quoiqu’en 
méme chambre. Le seul Général alla au Parlement comme a son 
ordinaire, et n’en perdit ni le jugement ni Vesprit. Cela a fait rire la 
compagnie, et n’a passé que pour un emportement. 


Au Roi. 
Londres, Juin, 25-Juillet 5, 1663. 


Sire—Madame la Duchesse d@’York est préte d’accoucher; la Reine 
Mére se porte fort bien; le reste va toujours 4 son ordinaire, quoiqu’il — 
y ait eu depuis peu, grande querelle entre les Dames, jusques 1a que le 
Roy menaga la Dame ai il soupe tous les soirs, de ne mettre jamais le 
pied chez elle si la demoiselle? n’y étoit. Cela fait qu’elle ne la quitte 
plus, ce que tout le monde trouve fort étrange, et moi je suis de con-— 
traire avis, car il me semble qu’elle ne sera jamais plus sfire de sa con~ 
quéte qu’en tenant sa rivale par la main, si ce n’est aux heures de son 
triomphe. Le Roi a fait le jeune Barclay Milord: on Va tenu quelque 
temps caché, de peur d’irriter la Chambre Basse qui en a témoigné 
hautement son déplaisir. L’affaire du Comte de St. Alban’s s’est éva- 
nouie: il n’en est pas de méme de celle de Bristol—il a été trois fois 
refusé chez Madame de Castlemaine, ov il ne manquoit jamais aller’ 
souper avec le Roi. 


A Monsieur de Lionne. 
Juillet 2-12, 1663. 


Je vous avois mandé que le Comte de Sunderland épousoit la fille du 
Comte de Bristol. Il se retira le soir qu’on devoit Vepouser, et donna 
ordre & un de ses amis de rompre le mariage. Le procédé surprit toute 
la Cour, et le Roi méme s’en est moqué, et l’a blame au dernier point.

Londres, Octobre 15-20, 1663. 

La nuit de vendredi au samedi la Reine pensa mourir—elle recut la 
yiatique, fit son testament, et se fit couper les cheveux, aprés avoir donné 
ordre a ses affaires domestiques. Le Roi se jetta 4 ses genoux fondant 
en larmes; elle le consola avec beaucoup de tranquillité et de douceur. 
Elle réjouit de le_voir bient6t en état de se pouvoir marier avec une 
princesse d’un plus grand mérite, et qui put contribuer a sa satisfaction 
et du repos de !’Etat. II fallut retirer le Roi de ce funeste spectacle, 
qui s’était attendri jusques 4 ]’évanouissement: tout le jour se passa au 
erainte, le soir le sommeil lui donna quelque repos, la nuit se passa sane 
redoublement, et présentement elle est en meilleur état. 


Au Roi. 


Octobre 25-29, 1663. 

Sire—Je sors présentement de Witthall ou j’ay laissé la Reine dans 
un état ot selon le jugement des médecins il y a peu de chose a espérer. 
Elle a regu l’extréme onction ce matin; et ensuite, elle a prié le Roi de 
deux choses—l’une que son corps fut renvoié en Portugal pour étre 
enterré dans le tombeau de ses péres; et l’autre qu'il conservait le 
souvenir de l’obligation oi son honneur l’engageoit de ne se jamais 
séparer ses intéréts du Roi son frére, et de la protection d’un peuple 
affligé. Pour la derniére des priéres, le temps nous en apprendra le 
succés, pour lautre je ne doute pas que Il’on n’y satisfasse trés vo- 
lontiers. 

Le Rei me paroit fort affligé; il soupa néantmoins hier au soir chez 
Mad. de Castlemaine, et eut conversations ordinaires avec Mademoiselle 
Stuard, dont il est fort amoureux.

Londres, Octobre 26-Novembre 5, 1663. 

Sire—Monsieur de Catteu arriva le vendredi au soir; je ne perdis 
point de temps pour le conduire 4 Withall, ot je scavois déja que l’on 
sempatientoit pour l’arrivée de quelque envoyé, Le Roi le recut avec 
beaucoup de satisfaciion, et voulut qu’il vit le Reine, mais comme elle re- 
pesoit, et qu'il étoit déja fort tard, la visite fut remise au lendemain. 
Je ne manquai pas de me rendre 4 l’heure ordonnée, et le Roi nous in-

Pa rendue tellement sourde qu’elle n’entend qu’é force de crier a ses

beaucoup de satisfaction, et repondit en peu de mots, mais fort intel- —

semble que le soin que V. M. a pris de l’envoier visiter, ait plus contri- 
bué a sa guérison, que tous les médecins. Ils nous font espérer qu’elle 
est hors de danger, néantmoins elle réve encore assez souvent, ce qui 
marque que son cerveau est fort attaqué, puisque la fiévre n’est pas assez 
ardente pour produire cet effet. Il faut avoir été témoin de ce que j’ai 
vu pour le croire; jusques au moindre courtisan se donnoit la liberté 
de marier son Maftre: chacun selon son inclination, mais les plus con- 
fidens parloient de la fille du Prince de Ligne,? a laquelle le Roi d’Es- 
pagne devoit faire des grands avantages. Je puis assurer V. M. que 
si la malade eschappe, qu’elle rompra bien des mesures, et que peu de 
gens en auront de la joye; si ce n’est Monsieur, et Madame la Duchesse 
a@’York, qui se voyaient bien éloignez des belles espérances des quelles 
apparement ils se peuvent flatter, puisque l’on dit que la Reine ne peut 
avoir d’enfans.

heures, afin de me faire voir le commencement de la cérémonie,’ qui se

fait préparer une chambre, afin que plus commodement je visse la caval-

1 This passage affords a curious specimen of the extent to which court etiquette 
and ceremony had been carried by Louis XIV. Catherine of Braganza was slowly 
recovering from a most dangerous fever, and yet she was compelled to give an au- 
dience in her bed to the French Ambassador; and her deafness rendered it necessary 
that the King should bawl into her majesty’s ear, before she could understand the 
compliments which de Comminges had been ordered personally to deliver. His 
assurance in attributing the improvement that had taken place in the queen’s health 
to the interest which Louis had evinced in her welfare, rather than to the skill of 
her medical attendants, is also very characteristic.

Ja salle du festin, ot se trouvent M. le Chancelier et le Conseil du Roy, 
qui étoit déja a table. Je fus surpris de cette grossitre incivilité; néant- 
moins, pour éviter de faire une affaire, je pris le parti de donner lieu & 
ces messieurs de réparer cette faute, sy elle s’étoit faite par ignorance, 
ou par mesgarde, ou d’éluder leur malice par un procédé franc et hardi. 
Je marchai droit 4 eux, 4 dessein de leur faire une raillerie de leur bon 
appetit; mais je les trouve sy froids et sy interdis, que je juge 4 propos 
de me retirer; le Chancelier et tous ses assistans ne s’estant pas levés 
pour me recevoir, 4 la réserve de Benet, qui me dit quelque chose 4 quoi 
je respondis avec mespris. Je retire, le Maitre des cérémonies parloit 
au Chancelier et lon me vit partir sams que personne se mit en peine 


- my de me faire excuses, ny civilités. Je dis de ceux du Conseil; car 


pour les officiers de la Ville, et les principaux bourgeois qui attendoient 
le Maire pour diner, je ne vis jamais plus de tristesse; chacun m’offrant 
des partis que je ne pouvois prendre avec bienséance. Ainsy je sortis, 
tout le peuple murmurant du peu de satisfaction que j’avois recu dans 
un lieu ot j’avois été convié avec tout la solemnité possible. 

Je retourne diner chez moy, ot deux heures aprés je fus visité par 
les deux mémes prévosts qui m’avoient conviés, accompagnés, de quel- 
ques bourgeois, et du peuple, qui demeura 4 ma porte. L’ordre qwils 
avoient du Maire et du Corps de Ville étoit de me faire des excuses de 
ce qui s’étoit passé, et ce que ne peuvent par leurs parolles, leur affec- 
tion, et le temoignage de leur douleur suppléa au reste. 

Ils tachérent & rejetter l’affaire sur une surprise; je leur fis voir que 
cette raison ne valoit rien &4 mon égard, et qu’ilz devoient percevoir qu'il 
n’y en eust pas, et quayant été prié, ilz ne pouvoient douter que je n’y 
allasse, surtout leur ayant promis: ensuite, sur leur ignorance et peu de 
capacité 4 recevoir des personnes de ma qualité; 4 quoi je respondis 
quil y avoit trop peu de temps quwilz avoient faits cet honneur 4 un 
Ambassadeur d’Espagne pour avoir oublié ce qu’ilz doivent 4 un de 
France; et ne trouvant plus rien a dire, ils rejettérent toute la faute sur le 
Maitre des cérémonies. Je leur dis que cette raison étoit aussy mau- 
vaise que les autres, puisque sa fonction ne s’étendoit point dans leurs 
festes, et qu’il étoit venu avec moi comme un particulier convié, pour 
la commodité de passer et d’entrer avec moins de peine. Pour con- 
clusion: ils me prient de vouloir me satisfaire de leurs excuses. Je 
leur respondis que l’affaire avoit eu trop de témoins pour pouvoir se 
cacher, et que mon devoir m’obligeoit de rendre compte & V. M.; leur 
insinuant que ce n’étoit pas d’eux seulement que j’avois 4 me plaindre, 
et quils avoient des complices de leur mauvaise conduite, ou de leur 
faute. Apres cela, je les conduisis hors de ma salle, ot je les arréte un 
peu; et pour leur faire plus de honte, je leur dis que je voulois 
passer plus avant, et payer un assez mauvais traitement par une civilité 
extraordinaire.

Sire—Le lendemain & onze heures, l’on m’advertit que le Maire étoit 
parti de chez luy pour me rendre visite, Il arriva un moment aprés, 
suivi de dix ou douze carosses, et d’un assez grand troupe de peuple, 
qui suivoit de cortége par curiosité, I] entra chez moi, ayec les marques 
de sa dignité, c’est-a-dire, l’épée et les masses, portées par des officiers 
de la Ville, la queue de sa robe par un autre, les Prévosts, les Aldermen, 
et plusieurs honorables bourgeois. Il arréta quelques momens dans ma 
salle basse; peut-étre en intention que je l’y allasse recevoir; mais un 
de mes sécrétaires lui aiant dit qu’il y avoit du feu dans la salle haute, 
et queje nétois pas achevé d’habiller, aiant emploié toute la matinée & 
faire mes dépéches, il monta en haut, et sitét je V’allois prendre pour le 
conduire dans ma chambre d’audience: je ne voulus point l’entendre, 
quil ne fut assis. D’abord il me témoigna qu’il étoit bien faché de ne 
pouvoir s’expliquer en Francois, mais qu'il avoit amené avec lui un 
interpréte, qui m’expliqueroit le discours quwil ayoit 4 me faire, qui con- 
sistoit en deux points; le premier de les excuser et pardonner la faute 
qu’ils avoient faits, et l'autre de vouloir leur donner un jour pour la 
réparer; que de ma réponse dépendoit la satisfaction ou honte éternelle 
de la Ville.de Londres, et qu’en leur particulier leur disgrace étoit 
assuré, tant du coté du peuple que de celuy du Roi, qui ne leur pardon- 
nerait jamais si je leur en donnois exemple. Je conduisis le Maire 
jusques. 4 son carosse, luy donnant tousjours la porte, mais conservant 
tousjours la main droite. Le tout se passa avec satisfaction de tous 
cotéz,

Sire—Le Chevalier de Grammont a été ravi de la nouvelle que je lui 
ai donné, et il m’a dit plus de 1000 fois qu’il aimoit mieux servir V. M. 
pour rien, que tous les Rois du monde pour leurs trésors. Il va se 
prépare 4 prendre congé de Celui de la Grande Bretagne, auquel, sans 
doute, il a des grandes obligations pour la maniére obligeante dont il 
été regu et traité. Dans l’excts de sa joie il n’a pas pu me cacher sa 
surprise, ce qui me persuade que l’affaire est faite, et qu’il fera un grand 
sacrifice 4 V. M. d’abandonner ses nouveaux et légitimes amours; car 
je crois qu’il se consolera bienté6t, et que peut-étre fera Vil voir la Cour 
de France 4 une belle Angloise,* qui pour le bien n’y trouvera point de 
difference 4 celle d’Angleterre. Il fait son compte de partir dans 4 jours,

ques uns des plus honnétes gens, et les mena diner chez lui, car cette 


‘maison lui appartient, l’aiant acheté de la Reine Mére. Le diner fini, il 


monta a4 cheval avec 4 cavaliers, et se retira. L’action est insolente et 
téméraire, et fait juger qu’il se présentera sitdt que le Parlement s’ouvrira, 
Chacun blame cette conduite, mais personne ne se met en peine de la 
punir. Ce navire d’Irlande,? qui avoit fait tant de bruit, et qui devoit

Venvie les unes des autres, mais cela ne produit point de jalousie. Je 
ne vis jamais deux rivales vivre en si bonne intelligence; ce n’est pas 
que l’on les ménage beaucoup, et que l’on prenne grand soin de cacher 
ces larcins, mais c’est ’humeur du pais, qui n’a de sensible jalousie que 
contre la France. M. de Montagu, prémier écuyer de la Reine d’Angle-

pu les retirer par parcelles, et s’en servir durant son absence pour les

autrement, et disent qu’il a autant de peine a quitter sa femme qu'il en

célébré de tant de coups de canon, que par son bruit il fit changer le temps. 

Durant cette rejouissance qui commengoit 4 s’échauffer, la mer grossit, 
qui ne fit guére moins de malades que le vin; et la Reine, qui se trouvoit 
sur la riviére avec ses dames, fut bien exempte du mal, mais non pas de 
la crainte; tout le reste s’en ressentit, et en donna des marques. Cette 
bourasque finie, le beau temps revient, qui en donna suffisament pour

convier (dans la forme la plus honorable que se puisse pratiquer) de 
vouloir diner a la Maison de Ville le jour de sa reception, avec le Conseil

posées et les mesures si justement prises, que l’on m’y rendroit dun 
commun consentiment tout Vhonneur et le respect qui étoit di 4 mon

afin de ne laisser aucum pretexte & quelque nouvel accident, La chose

les plus considérables, a l’envy les uns des autres, s’empressoient 4 me 
faire civilité et honneur. Enfin M. le Maire, par ordre de M. le Chancelier, 
mraddressa tous les complimens de la Ville; qui n’avoient autre but que 
@honorer V. M. Il me porta la santé du Roi d’Angleterre que je bus, 
et puis celle de V. M. a M. le Chancelier, qui s’en acquita dignement, et 
obligea tous ces seigneurs de la célébrer avec respect et joye. Aprés le 
repas, je fus conduit 4 mon carosse, et jamais M. le Chancelier ni tous 
ces messieurs ne youlurent se retirer, que je ne fusse parti. Si je parle de 
tous ces honneurs que l’on ma rendus, ce n’est pas que j’en veuille tirer 
ni vanité, ni avantage, c’est seulement pour faire scavoir 4 V. M. comme 
elle est honorée et estimée en cette Cour.

It being for the service of the nation, we doe require you to leave 
under the command of St John Berry, Knight, the shipps of warr and 
fier ships mentioned in the margen, at Spitthead;? in which Order to 
him you are to direct and require that he be very carefull to send, from

most fitting, to prevent any affrount that may be committed by the 
French or others; you are also to direct him to be very strickt not to 
suffer any vessel to sayle out of Portsmouth harbour with suspected 
persons on board; you are to supply the squadron you leave there, out 
of your fleet, what provision you can with safety to yourselves spare; 
and, so soon as you have given your necessary orders in these matters, 
you are forthwith, wind and weather permitting, to sayle with the rest 
of the ships of warr, fier-ships, and tenders, not named in this Order, 
to the Buoy of the North,? unless such of the fleet as you shall judge 
not fitt for the sea, and in that case you are to order them into Ports- 
mouth harbour, where they are to stay for further orders from us. Tis 
our pleasure, that you immediately send an Order to the Commissioner 
of that place, that there be a stopp putt and nothing further done to- 
wards the fitting out of any ships or vessels of warr in that harbour 
of Portsmouth, till our further pleasure be known; and also you are to 
give a generall Order to the proper officers of the fleet in those parts, 
that no more men be listed or entertained on board any of the men of

S. Pepys’s Account cf Mr. Meheux’s singular memory. 


Saturday, September 16, 1698. 


This day, at my table, Lord Clarendon, Captain Hatton, Dr Smith, 
and I, each successively at his pleasure, dictated 60 independent words 
set down in numerical order, to Mt Meheux; which, after a silent pause 
of about eight minutes, he repeated in the same order backwards and 
forwards. He also answered our demands, of any of them singly, by 
their number only, out of all order; and this without the least failure, 
or so much as hesitancy, saving only that, in his first recital, he stopped 
at the word budget, which, in repeating the words backwards imme- 
diately afterwards, he quoted right. Nor did he stint us to any number 
of words, inviting us to go on beyond 60, which we thought abundantly 
enough. Memorandum, that he objected to the word Heautontimo- 
roumenos, not for its length, but praying that each word might be sig- 
nificative of something which he understood. Captain Hatton, who 
had seen the like experiment in France, asking him whether his making 
another trial presently upon a fresh set of words would not entirely — 
efface the memory of the first, which was the case with him in France, — 
he said it would not, if he proposed to himself the remembering of the 
former; and he was-now ready to have given us a proof of it, had we 
insisted on it. ;

Chamberlain and made his complent to his Lordshipp. But his Lord-
